This soft, fluffy egg bake is loaded with asparagus, leeks and potatoes, and topped with artichokes. The casserole is light and fluffy from folding whipped egg whites into the egg batter, similar to this Asparagus Gruyere Quiche.

Asparagus Egg Bake

Asparagus and eggs are naturals together. I combine them in quiche, frittatas, and egg bakes like this meal-worthy asparagus egg bake made with orzo pasta spinach, feta cheese and a mixture of eggs, cream, ricotta cheese and creme fraiche. It's perfect for a brunch or dinner.

And if you like Mexican food, you need to try this chile rellenos casserole with eggs.

🧅 Main Ingredients + Notes

The secret to faster and easier meals often lies in the ingredients. For example, store-bought items and ingredients you make ahead and store in the refrigerator (or freezer) can turn a 60-minute recipe into a 30-minutes meal or less.

Asparagus - either skinny or fat asparagus is fine.
Scallions - or if you have spring onions in season, use 1 large one instead, for their more delicate flavor.
Leek - white and light green parts only.
Yellow onion
Russet potato
Garlic
Artichoke hearts - you can purchase baby artichokes, and cook them, but I find it's easier to buy jarred artichoke hearts.
Eggs
Milk - either whole milk or low-fat.
Parmesan cheese
Fontina cheese
Herbs de Provence

👩‍🍳 Preparation Tips

It's important to allow the sautéed onion mixture cool down before stirring into the eggs, to make sure you don't end up with scrambled eggs. It doesn't take much heat to curdle them.
There's a lot of 'filling' to this recipe between the onions, leeks, asparagus, and potatoes. I whipped four of the egg whites to a froth just approaching stiff, and folded them into the egg mixture to create a lighter, more springy texture. If you like a denser egg bake, just mix the 12 eggs together without separating any whites out.

⏰ Tips to Simplify and Save Time

The entire egg bake can be made ahead up to the point where the whipped egg whites are folded in. The egg mixture can be refrigerated overnight, as can the cooked veggies.

Ninety minutes before serving, remove everything from the refrigerator, whip the egg whites, fold them into the eggs, pour into the casserole dish over the veggies, and top with the asparagus and artichokes.

Another eggs and asparagus dish you might like is this asparagus ricotta quiche that swaps out heavy cream for ricotta cheese.
