Scrambled Egg & Asparagus Breakfast Tacos
Cook time: 10min Prep time: 25min Total time: 35min
Servings: 4 Tacos
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
- 1 bunch chives, chopped
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
- 8 Heinen’s cage free eggs
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 8 corn tortillas, warmed
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, cook the asparagus, stirring occasionally. After 3 minutes, add ¼ cup of water and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until done to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside. If preparing in advance, shock the asparagus in an ice bath to keep the integrity of the color.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped chives, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a medium-size bowl and whisk until well beaten. Add pepper to taste. Do not add salt until the eggs are cooked.
- In a nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, pour in the whisked eggs. Keep the heat on medium-low. When the eggs start to set, use a flat rubber spatula and slowly fold the eggs in sections. Do this occasionally so the eggs remain fluffy. Do not overmix or fold.
- Once the eggs are totally set (could take 5-6 minutes; low and slow is key) turn off the heat and the shredded gruyere cheese. Season with salt. Lightly mix and transfer the eggs to a bowl to avoid overcooking.
- Warm the tortillas over a gas burner for about 20 -30 seconds per side, or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
- To serve, place the scrambled eggs on the warmed tortillas. Top with the asparagus and a drizzle of the yogurt sauce. Garnish with extra chives. Serve immediately.
