Ingredients:


2 tablespoons butter

1 1/4 cups sliced mushrooms

1/4 pound prosciutto or ham -- diced or slivered

3/4 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 medium green pepper -- diced

1/2 pound asparagus -- trimmed and cut in 1 inch lengths

10 large eggs

1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried

1 teaspoon ground oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

6 ounces cream cheese -- softened

1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese -- shredded

1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

4 tablespoons butter
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter; add mushrooms, prosciutto, garlic and green pepper. Saute over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Blanch asparagus in boiling salted water for 1 to 2 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain well and set aside. Whisk together eggs, herbs and seasonings. Cut cream cheese into bits and add to egg mixture. Heat remaining 4 tablespoons butter in skillet. Add egg mixture. Cook over medium heat while folding mixture with a spatula to blend in cream cheese. When eggs are half set, add warm vegetable-prosciutto mixture, mozzarella, Parmesan and warm asparagus. Continue to cook while gently folding in cheeses with a spatula. When eggs are just done, serve immediately. Note: if asparagus is not available, broccoli is a good substitute.
