When I’m asked what is in my top 5 brunch recipes, this has to be on the list. Asparagus, Ham and Egg Brunch is light yet filling and so full of flavour. Serve with or on toast for the bigger appetite but this recipe rocks. Served for breakfast or brunch or for that special person. I have also served this at Christmas and thanksgiving when everybody has eaten too much. This fits the bill perfectly.

- Place the ham in swirls on slightly warmed plates. The contours will hold the eggs in place.75 g smoked ham
- Add a little butter and a drop of oil to a saucepan and place over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the egg mixture and stir gently until it starts to scramble.

- Add the eggs on top of the ham and place the asparagus on top of the eggs for a dish that looks impressive, tastes amazing and is always a winner.

A simple to follow recipe that is fresh, filling and very tasty. It also looks stunning.
The Asparagus, Ham, and Egg Brunch is a fabulous dish that delivers both flavour and presentation.
This dish is not only delicious but also highly versatile. I tried it with a splash of cream instead of milk in the eggs, which made them extra luxurious.
The dish is easy to prepare yet looks so elegant.
It’s a light yet satisfying meal that I’ve added to my brunch recipe collection.
The Asparagus, Ham, and Egg Brunch is the perfect blend of comfort and gourmet.
The vibrant green asparagus, soft yellow scrambled eggs, and pink swirls of ham make for a stunning presentation. The flavours are equally impressive—each ingredient shines without overpowering the others.
The tenderness of the asparagus complements the smoky ham beautifully, while the creamy scrambled eggs tie everything together. I particularly enjoyed the touch of chives, which added a subtle hint of freshness.
The soft, creamy eggs paired with the smoky ham create a satisfying base, while the asparagus adds a light, fresh crunch.
I loved how quick and straightforward this recipe is to make! The flavours are well-balanced, and the textures work wonderfully together—the crisp-tender asparagus, velvety eggs, and smoky ham.
The recipe’s use of simple, fresh ingredients makes it both nutritious and satisfying. It’s also easy to prepare, making it a great option for both casual and special occasions.
A true winner for any brunch table.
It’s an excellent recipe to customise and adapt to your taste. Highly recommended for brunch lovers
The natural sweetness of the asparagus pairs beautifully with the saltiness of the ham and the creamy eggs.
A delightful way to start the day.
This recipe strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication. The asparagus was cooked to perfection, and the smoked ham added just the right amount of savoury depth. The creamy scrambled eggs were wonderfully seasoned, and the addition of chives gave them a fresh, aromatic touch.
This recipe is as much a treat for the eyes as it is for the palate.
