Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk or regular milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 slices good-quality bacon chopped
- 4 asparagus spears cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium leeks thinly sliced
- Fresh chives or other herbs for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Whisk eggs along with the milk and salt. Set aside.
- In a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly. I prefer it to be cooked through but not crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon once you’ve reached the desired texture, and leave the grease in the pan. Set the bacon aside.
- Add the asparagus and leeks to the pan. Cover and cook the vegetables in the bacon grease over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until tender. If you're using thin asparagus, you may want to add the leeks first and let them cook for a couple minutes before adding the asparagus.
- Return the cooked bacon to the pan and pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until set.
- Sprinkle with chopped chives or other fresh herbs (e.g. parsley) for garnish and serve warm.
