Preparation

In a 9-inch (23 cm) non-stick frying pan, heat butter at medium heat, sauté shallots for 2,3 minutes, then add asparagus and cook 3,4 min longer. Season.

In bowl, whip egg whites into soft peaks. Add yolks, season and mix well using a rubber spatula.

Remove asparagus from pan. Leaving heat at medium, pour in eggs. Sprinkle over tarragon, cheese and arrange asparagus. Cook 5 to 7 minutes without stirring for a firm texture. Finish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, fold over and serve.
