This makes a nice light meal. When I prepare it for guests, I serve it with fruit and bread. It’s quick and easy, but it always wins me many compliments! —Gwen Clemon, Soldier, Iowa

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces bacon
  • 2 cups sliced fresh asparagus (cut in 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 10 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup minced parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. In a 9- or 10-in. ovenproof skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings. Heat reserved drippings on medium-high. Add asparagus, onion and garlic; saute until onion is tender. Chop or crumble bacon; set aside a third. In a large bowl, combine remaining bacon, eggs, parsley, salt and pepper.
  2. Pour egg mixture into skillet; stir. Top with tomato, cheese and reserved bacon. Cover and cook on medium-low until eggs are nearly set, 10-15 minutes. Preheat broiler; place skillet 6 in. from heat. Broil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
