Nutritional values

Asparagus is an excellent source of folate - the water-soluble vitamin is needed for cell renewal and blood formation, among other things. Additionally, the eggs score points with plenty of high-quality protein as well as vitamins, especially vitamins A, D and E.

Feel free to substitute the asparagus with other vegetables of your choice. Try using diced peppers and zucchini in a delicate egg batter.
