Ingredients: 

  • 2 pastured eggs
  • Kerry Gold Butter
  • 2 tsp. plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • ½ cup sweet onion, diced
  • 1 cup diced fresh asparagus
  • 2 tsp. basil pesto, or more to taste* (recipe below)
  • 4 sprouted corn tortillas, steamed 
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions: 

  1. Scramble eggs with Greek yogurt; set aside.
  2. Put a teaspoon or two of butter in a small skillet, add onion, and cook over medium heat until translucent. Then add mushrooms and asparagus and sauté for a few minutes until mushrooms are cooked and asparagus is crisp tender.
  3. Add pesto and turn off the heat.
  4. Heat another small skillet over medium heat and when warm, add a teaspoon or two of butter.
  5. When butter is melted, add the scrambled eggs, salt and fresh ground pepper, and let sit for about 20 seconds. Using a silicone spatula, gently go under the eggs and around the pan and stir gently and let sit for about 10 seconds and stir again.
