Asparagus & Eggs Breakfast Skillet

This vibrant and wholesome breakfast skillet brings together tender asparagus, fresh eggs, and seasonal vegetables like leeks, potatoes, and peas to create a nutrient-rich, satisfying start to your day. Perfect for spring but delicious all year round, it’s the kind of meal that’s as nourishing as it is flavorful. The combination of greens and protein not only energizes your morning but also makes it ideal for a light lunch or brunch.

🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 large eggs

• 6 fresh asparagus stalks

• 1 small potato (or 1/2 cup pre-diced potatoes)

• 1/2 leek, thinly sliced (or 2 green onions)

• 1/4 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Optional: 1–2 tablespoons grated cheese (such as Parmesan or feta)
  
  

🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables
   Wash and trim the asparagus. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Dice the potato into small cubes. Thinly slice the leek or green onions.

2. Cook the potatoes
   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the diced potatoes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Set aside.

3. Sauté the greens
   In the same skillet, add another small splash of olive oil. Sauté the sliced leek (or green onions) for 1–2 minutes until softened. Add the asparagus and green peas. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. Add the eggs
   Push the vegetables to the side of the pan to create a space for the eggs. Crack in both eggs. Cook to your desired doneness — sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled. You can stir everything together for a hash-style mix or let the eggs set whole.

5. Finish and serve
   Once the eggs are cooked, stir everything together gently or keep eggs whole. If desired, sprinkle with a little cheese before serving. Serve warm, directly from the skillet.

🍽️ Serving

This recipe serves two people. Serve it warm straight from the skillet for a hearty breakfast. It pairs beautifully with toasted sourdough bread, a dollop of yogurt, or even a fresh fruit salad for contrast.
