Ingredients
- 8 Large eggs
- 1/4 Cup Milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 Small onion, finely chopped
- 4 ounce Goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions
- You'll preheat the oven to the broil setting for this recipe. Typically, broiling is done at high heat, which is around 500°F (260°C). However, ovens can vary, so it's essential to keep an eye on the frittata while broiling to prevent burning.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the asparagus and onion in the skillet. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and chopped parsley on top.
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
