Recipe Notes

You could use broccoli, green peas or green beans instead of asparagus.

Don't like spinach? Use arugula, kale or your favorite greens.

Add some crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.

Here's how to make it:

Cook the asparagus in boiling, salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in the drained asparagus. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cheese and asparagus mixture.
Pour the mixture into a buttered 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 20 to 30 minutes or until eggs are set. Cool a few minutes before cutting into squares.
