Sauté the shallots with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté briefly with the shallots.

In a bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of salt, then whisk them together.

Add ricotta cheese to the egg mixture and combine well.

Pour the egg and ricotta mixture over the sautéed asparagus and shallots in the skillet.
