About Me

My photo
I live in the Pacific NW with my husband,our 85 pound black lab and the newest member of our family our adorable little boy! I love to cook, stick my hands in the dirt and grow veggies and flowers, etc., craft for gift giving, repurpose things from my grandmother, find a cozy corner and curl up with a good book, and most of all hang out with my boys and our furry one.

Eggy

So apologies to start off as there will be no pictures for this post.  I didn't have my phone by me - as it doesn't really ring right now ( a whole other story)  - and the camera was off somewhere else as well.

This is super easy though and could be breakfast lunch or dinner.

1 bunch of asparagus - trimmed and cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1 large red onion - rough chop
7 eggs
splash of milk
grated cheese  - handful

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Start by cooking one large red onion until soft.   Add the asparagus and cover the pan to help cook it until just past the crunchy stage.   Spray/butter a 8x8 or 9x9 pan (I prefer glass).   Dump the veggie mixture in the bottom of the pan.   Grate whatever cheese you have on hand - I used a handful of cheddar and Parmesan and sprinkle on the top of the veggies.   Next scrabble the eggs and add a splash of milk.   You should salt and pepper at this point as well but I forgot.   Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and cheese and set in the over to bake for about 25 -30 minutes.   I checked on the whole thing at 20 and decided it needed about 8 more minutes.  

This is going to be my new spring/summer standard and I hope to make one every Sunday.   The possibilities are endless!  What veggies I put in will just depend on what I find fresh at the market.  I will say this isn't very "eggy" but I like it that way.  If you more of an egg type dish I would add more eggs because this way the veggies are really the star of the show.   You could even add meat if you wanted but as I've mentioned since J started growing in my belly meat doesn't always appeal plus you are getting plenty of protein with egg and cheese.  Had this for dinner last night, breakfast this morning, and will probably have for lunch tomorrow.  It warms beautiful in the microwave and actually wouldn't be half bad cold either.
