Creamy, soft Scrambled Eggs with tender asparagus, melted leeks, chèvre, and fresh dill – a simple, easy breakfast inspired by spring!
This scrambled egg recipe is one of my personal favorites. Creamy, soft and rich, they are full of flavor and nutrients, thanks to the addition of melted leeks, asparagus, goat cheese and dill. Simple yet luxurious, perfect for spring!
Scrambled Eggs ingredients
- Eggs – for the best-scrambled eggs with a glorious golden color and the highest Omega 3rs, try to opt for eggs from pasture-raised chickens.
- Leeks – use the white and light green parts.
- Asparagus – Toss the woody ends and use the rest!
- Goat cheese – or chevre, folded into the soft eggs.
- Sour cream – whisked with the eggs gives a right tangy flavor- so delicious paired with the leeks and asparagus.
- Olive oil or butter – or use a comb of both!
- Fresh herbs: fresh dill or tarragon, for a touch of spring!
Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus (Instructions)
Step 1: Cut and wash the leeks. Drain.
Step 2: Prep the asparagus. Trim off the woody ends, then cut into 1 inch pieces.
Step 3: Whisk the eggs with sour cream, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Saute the leeks in a little olive oil or butter over medium-low heat until tender. Add the asparagus and saute 2-3 minutes, or until tender crisp. Set them aside.
Step 5: Wipe out the pan, add a little more olive oil or butter and pour in the eggs. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes, then gently slide a rubber spatula along the bottom of the pan, creating soft folds.
Step 6: Once the eggs are set, but still soft, fold in the goat cheese and add the asparagus and leeks.
Step 7: When they are done to your preference, turn off the heat and add fresh dill ( or tarragon) and gently incorporate.
Serving suggestions
Serve the scrambled eggs with breakfast potatoes, sourdough toast, or just on their own.
Enjoy these tasty scrambled eggs!

- salt and pepper to taste (1/4 teaspoon of each)
