2. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Sauté in the pan with butter. When the onion is translucent, add the asparagus and season with pepper. Sauté, stirring gently.

3. Beat the eggs with vinegar and add to the vegetables. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.

4. Pour the mixture into a serving dish.
