Ingredients:

2     tablespoons   olive oil
1/2   cup           thinly-sliced onion
1                   garlic clove
1     teaspoon      chopped fresh thyme
1/2   medium        tomato
12                  cooked asparagus stalks
8     large         eggs
1/2   teaspoon      salt
1/2   teaspoon      freshly-ground black pepper
1/2   cup           freshly-grated Parmesan cheese

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a 9- to 10-inch, preferably nonstick, ovenproof frying pan. Add the onion, garlic and thyme. Sauté until the onion is soft. Add the asparagus and cook for a minute longer. Add half of the tomato and give a few stirs. Remove the vegetables and wipe out the pan.
Turn on the broiler. While it is heating, beat the eggs, salt, pepper and cheese together.
In the same frying pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scatter the vegetables on top of the eggs. Turn the heat to low and cook until the frittata is golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Place the frittata under the broiler and cook until firm. Slide onto a plate and garnish with the remaining chopped tomato.
