Healthy Scrambled Eggs With Salmon, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients –
1 Tbsp butter
8 stalks asparagus, woody bottoms removed, chopped into 1 inch pieces
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 eggs Note- Spend the extra dollar or two to buy the highest quality eggs you can find. Free-range farmers market eggs are best
2 Tbsp fat free milk
1⁄4 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
4 oz smoked salmon, chopped
Method
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
- When the butter begins to foam, add the asparagus and cook until just tender (“crisp-tender” in kitchen parlance). Season with salt and pepper.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk with the milk.
- Season with a few pinches of salt and pepper and add to the pan with the asparagus.
- Turn the heat down to low and use a wooden spoon to constantly stir and scrape the eggs until they begin to form soft curds. A minute before they’re done, stir in the goat cheese.
- Remove from the heat when the eggs are still creamy and soft (remember, scrambled eggs are like meat— they continue to cook even after you cut the heat) and fold in the smoked salmon.
Tips: Serve with a scoop of roasted potatoes and/or fresh fruit.
Other combinations can include –
Sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and caramelized onions
Chorizo and onion, with diced avocado and chopped cilantro stirred in before serving
Chunks of chicken or turkey sausage, scallions, and cheddar
Cherry tomatoes, with a swirl of pesto stirred in at the last moment, or even a couple spoonfuls of spicy tomato sauce
