Prep Asparagus:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a pot of boiling water, blanch the asparagus pieces for about 2 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Whisk Eggs:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Assemble Frittata:
Add the blanched asparagus pieces to the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic.
Pour the whisked egg mixture over the asparagus.
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the egg mixture.
Cook Frittata:
Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is lightly golden.
Serve & Garnish:
