Ingredients

• Asparagus - 200 grams, trimmed and cut into 2 cm pieces
• Eggs - 4 large
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still bright green.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked asparagus in the skillet, gently stirring to distribute the asparagus evenly.
6. Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

8. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and slice into wedges. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.
