Instructions
1
Prep
Whisk the three eggs together in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until uniform in colour.
2
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high with the olive oil. Add the asparagus pieces and cook 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender-crisp. Push asparagus to one side, add minced garlic, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3
Scramble over low heat, pouring the egg mixture into the skillet and gently pushing it with a spatula every 15 to 20 seconds, folding in the asparagus and garlic, until soft curds form with no runny liquid left.
4
Plate
Slide the eggs onto a plate, scatter the lemon zest, shaved Manchego, and parsley over the top, and serve immediately.
