Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven broiler to high. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut spears into 2-inch pieces, leaving the tips whole for garnish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.

    Step 2
    1:00
  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more until fragrant.

    Step 3
    3:00
  4. 4

    Add the asparagus pieces (not the tips) to the skillet and saute for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Arrange the asparagus tips on top decoratively.

    Step 4

  5. 5

    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Crumble the goat cheese over the top in generous dollops. Cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

    Step 5

  6. 6

    Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes until the top is golden brown and puffed. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Scatter fresh chives and dill over the top. Slice into wedges and serve directly from the skillet.
