Ingredients
1 pound Laura's 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round

1 (16-ounce) container Egg Beaters
2 roma tomatoes, sliced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (optional)
Directions
1. Cook beef and shallots over medium-high heat in a 12-inch lightly greased oven-proof skillet 5 minutes or until beef is browned; drain.
2. Add asparagus, salt and Italian seasoning and saute 5 to 7 minutes or until tender, stirring constantly. Stir in basil and cook 2 more minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Pour eggs over beef mixture. Cover and cook until edges are set and bottom is lightly browned about 5 minutes.

Makes 8 servings.
Cooking Tip: Shallots are a member of the onion family, with papery brown skin, purple-tinged white flesh, and a flavor resembling a cross between sweet onion and garlic. When shopping for shallots, look for firm, well-shaped heads that are not sprouting. Then store them in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
