Preparation

Pre-heat your broiler

Whisk together the eggs, cream, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper

Heat butter and oil in an oven proof skillet (10 - 12 inch) over medium heat

Add the shallots, stirring until it begins to soften (about 2 minutes)

Add asparagus, and cook until tender (5 - 8 minutes)

Add remaining salt and pepper, stir

Increase the heat to med-high, and add the eggs

Occasionally, lift up the cooked edges to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath

Cook 5 minutes (the center will still be loose)

Top with the shaved Aged Havarti, and place under the broiler (about 6 inches form the heat)

Cook for 3 minutes, until puffed and golden brown

Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving
