When I posted a teaser photo on both Instagram and Facebook asking my readers to guess my secret ingredient no one got it. Dozens of guesses and not a single right answer.

Ready to find out with it is? Here is a big hint. This is dairy free. So it is not butter, cream, cheese, cream cheese, or cottage cheese.

My secret ingredient is Buttery Coconut Oil! I used it to roast the asparagus and then decided to throw some into the blender with the eggs and see what happened. What happened was a delicious buttery egg filling that got crusty around the edges.

I always encourage my readers to tweak recipes to their tastes. Love bacon? Go ahead and add some. Don’t care about this being dairy-free? Toss in some cheese. I’d love to try it with a herbed goat cheese. Have an abundance of fresh herbs in your garden? Chop up with basil and sprinkle it in. I thought about adding some sun-dried tomatoes but decided that 3 was the magic number for this recipe.

I loved making a pretty design with my roasted asparagus but that does mean a few lucky slices get all the asparagus tips.
