METHOD

preparation
Chop the herbs and add them to a small bowl. Chop off any hard parts of the asparagus. Cut the pancetta into small cubes. Set a rack on the lowest part of the oven and preheat it to 200 °C / 400 °F. Grab a 24 cm (10-inch) oven-safe pan. We are using Tefal Ingenio Unlimited (24 cm) with a removable handle.
-
egg mixture
Add eggs, herbs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper to a bowl and whisk to combine. Set a pan over medium heat. Add pancetta and pan-fry until golden. Add the asparagus and pan-fry for a minute, then add the egg mixture. Reduce the heat to low heat and cook for 2 - 3 minutes for the eggs to cook, stirring consistently. Add the cheese and stir.
-
bake
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 8 - 10 minutes at 200 °C / 400 °F or until golden and cooked. Remove from the oven. Optionally sprinkle with fresh herbs and shredded parmesan cheese. Serve.
