List of Ingredients



• 1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus or two 9-ounce or 10-ounce packages frozen cut asparagus
  
• 1 medium yellow sweet pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
  
• 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 1 cup)
  
• 10 slightly beaten eggs
  
• 1 cup half-and-half, light cream, or milk
  
• 2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian parsley
  
• 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  






Instructions



1. Butter a 2-quart rectangular baking dish; set aside.
   
2. If using fresh asparagus, snap off and discard woody bases. Scrape off scales, if desired. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
   
3. In a saucepan, bring about 1 inch water to boiling. Add asparagus, pepper strips, and onion; bring just to boiling. Reduce heat slightly; cover and boil about 1 minute or until crisp-tender. Drain well, reserving some asparagus tips for garnish. Spread asparagus-pepper mixture evenly in baking dish. Layer zucchini slices over.
   
4. Combine eggs, half-and-half, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour over vegetables in baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven about 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garnish each serving with asparagus tips, if desired.
