Ingredients

12 ounces bacon
2 cups sliced fresh asparagus (cut in 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
10 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a 9- or 10-in. ovenproof skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in pan. Over medium-high heat, add asparagus, onion and garlic to the pan; saute until onion is tender. Chop or crumble bacon; set aside a third. In a large bowl, combine remaining bacon, eggs, parsley, salt and pepper.
Pour egg mixture into skillet; stir. Top with tomato, cheese and reserved bacon. Cover and cook on medium-low until eggs are nearly set, 10-15 minutes. Preheat broiler; place skillet 6 in. from heat. Broil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
