Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus, Leeks, Chèvre and Dill

Spring Scrambled Eggs with tender asparagus, melted leeks, chèvre and fresh dill – a simple easy breakfast inspired by spring! 

In this simple recipe, scrambled eggs get a breath of fresh air with the addition of melted leeks, asparagus, goat cheese and dill. I realize this hardly warrants an actual recipe, but the combination of flavors, to me, are so satisfying I thought I’d share it with you it in case you needed a little morning inspiration. The melted leeks are divine, but don’t make an extra trip to the store for them — onion, shallot or scallions work just fine too. The point here is to inject a little springtime love into your eggs, however you see fit.

First saute the leeks until melting and tender.

Then add the asparagus, and cook until crisp and bright.

Whisk the eggs with sour cream, salt and pepper then pour them into the pan with the asparagus.  Scramble to your desired doneness, folding in the the goat cheese about halfway through.

When they are just about done add a generous amount of fresh dill, and gently incorporate.

Serve with a piece of good toast and sprinkle with cracked pepper.

Enjoy!
