kcalTender grilled asparagus served with creamy scrambled eggs and hearty whole-grain toast for a balanced and nutritious meal.
Ingredients
8-10 asparagus spears, trimmed
3 large eggs
2 slices whole-grain bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil for the eggs)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Directions
- Grill the asparagus: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
- Toast the bread: While the asparagus is grilling, toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden and crispy.
- Scramble the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and milk (if using). Heat butter (or olive oil) in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently scramble them until cooked through but still soft and fluffy.
- Assemble the plate: Place the grilled asparagus alongside the scrambled eggs on a plate. Serve with the toasted whole-grain bread.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately for a well-rounded, nutritious breakfast.
