Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
- Toss the asparagus spears with the olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
2. Char-Grill the Asparagus:
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the asparagus on the hot grill pan.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until asparagus is tender and has char marks.
- Remove from the grill pan and set aside.
- While the asparagus is grilling, finely chop the chives, parsley, and dill. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add the light sour cream to the eggs and whisk until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook the Scrambled Eggs:
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Gently stir with a spatula, continuously moving the eggs around the pan to form small, soft curds.
- When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, stir in the chopped herbs: chives, parsley, and dill.
- Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat.
- Arrange the char-grilled asparagus on serving plates.
- Spoon the herby scrambled eggs over the asparagus.
- If using, flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly over the eggs and asparagus.
- Garnish with extra chopped herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Tips:
- Make sure to snap the woody ends off the asparagus before grilling for the best texture.
- To achieve perfect scrambled eggs, cook them low and slow, gently stirring them to curdle without drying out.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs can be used in a pinch, but the flavor will be more intense and slightly different.
- If you don't have fresh salmon, smoked salmon can be a delicious alternative; just adjust the amount of salt accordingly.
- Serve the dish immediately for the best taste and texture, as scrambled eggs can continue to cook and become rubbery if left to sit.
Herby scrambled eggs on char-grilled asparagus is a delicious and nutritious meal that offers a gourmet experience in the comfort of your own home. The combination of eggs, herbs, asparagus, and salmon makes for a well-rounded plate that's both satisfying and visually appealing. Enjoy this recipe for a special breakfast or brunch.
