Ingredients
3 sheets of phyllo dough3 fresh eggs, lightly beaten1/4 egg substitute (or 1 to 2 more fresh eggs if you prefer)half a bunch of asparagus, blanced1/4 cup Gruyere cheese, shreeded2 Tablespoons melted butter, divided2 Tablespoons chives, chopped
Trim and blanch asparagus, cutting the spears lengthwise if very fat.
Butter an 8x8 baking dish (I use Pyrex).
Preheat oven to 325 or 350.
Layer phyllo sheets into baking dish, brushing with butter after each sheet. Fold ends in and over, as they will be too long, but allow them to cover the entire bottom of the dish and up the sides.
Beat fresh eggs, chives, and egg substitute together. Pour this into the phyllo shell. Lay asparagus in rows, alternating which end the spear is facing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Top with Gruyere.
Brush any remaining butter on the edges of phyllo dough that are not covered with egg.
Bake in center of oven until eggs are just barely set. If desired, broil for 30 seconds to finish browning cheese and phyllo.
Serve as brunch, light dinner, or lunch.
