Instructions:
- Rinse the asparagus spears and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
- Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to heat through.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
- Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds to start setting, then gently stir and scramble the eggs with the vegetables.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the Asparagus and Tomato Egg Scramble to plates.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with some fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese.
Tips:
- Make sure to wash and trim the asparagus before cooking to remove any tough ends.
- Dice the tomatoes and onions into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the asparagus; it should be tender but still slightly crisp.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Season the scramble with salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
