- Put peppers on grill, and cook until softened and mostly blackened on all sides, for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Put peppers in a paper or plastic bag to steam briefly until cool enough to handle.
- Strip off majority of blackened skins, rinsing your hands as needed.
- Slice peppers into chunks, discarding stems and seeds and reserving juices.
- Put peppers and any juices, almonds, garlic, vinegar, paprika, crushed red pepper and salt in a blender or food processor.

- Stir in mushrooms, asparagus and scallions, and warm through.
- Pat mixture down evenly in skillet.
- Pour egg mixture evenly into skillet.
- Continue heating until bottom is lightly set, for about 3 minutes more, lifting edges and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow to bottom.
