Method

In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, basil, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Preheat broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large, heat-safe skillet over medium heat.

When the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about a minute.

Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for about 5 minutes until it begins to become tender.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook about 4 minutes or until bubbles begin to form in the center of the eggs.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top of the eggs and immediately transfer the pan to the oven.

Cook under the broiler until the top puffs and browns, about 3 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven (careful, it will be hot!) and cut the frittata into wedges.
