Trim asparagus; cook in boiling salted water until stalks are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and arrange in a lightly-greased 13 x 9-inch shallow baking dish.

Beat egg whites to a stiff froth. Fold in beaten egg yolks, milk or cream, butter, salt and pepper to taste. Pour egg mixture evenly over asparagus. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 10 minutes, or until eggs are set.
