Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Wash and trim the asparagus, cutting it into 1-inch pieces.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add minced garlic and asparagus; cook until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Stir in halved cherry tomatoes, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped basil into the egg mixture.

Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.

Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the frittata is puffed and golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional basil if desired.
