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
