    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

    How do I know if I am cooking it the right way?

    You must stir until the asparagus is brown and tender. If the asparagus is thicker or larger, than it might take some extra time to be done.

    Can you refrigerate the asparagus and egg skillet?

    It can be kept in the fridge for an average of two days; after that, it can become soggy. However, once the eggs are cooked, it is preferred to eat them fresh.

    Which pan do you recommend using?

    This dish is usually cooked in an iron skillet; it is oven-safe, and when the eggs are well-seasoned, they do not stick to it. This pan can be used both in the oven and on the stove.

    • eggs
    • butter

    Variations

    Since this is an easy recipe to prepare and it does not require many ingredients, you can always add seasonings to change up flavor.

    You can also opt to add more texture and umami flavors. For example, adding cheese that melts gives food a crispy taste when it is cooked.

    Top Tips

    The asparagus can be stored the day before in the refrigerator. However, once you take it out and decide to cook the asparagus, it is preferable to preheat it in the same pan in which the eggs are going to be cooked.

    Green asparagus is the most common kind; it is cultivated on earthy soil, and requires sunlight to stay fresh. However, white asparagus can also be used, but its taste is less intense.

    Another common type is wild asparagus, which is thinner, very intense, and has a slightly bitter taste.  

    You can serve this dish with a side salad for lunch or dinner.
