Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
-
Add oil, asparagus, bok choy, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften, 2–3 minutes.
-
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
-
Preheat the oven to broil.
-
Reduce heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently lift the cooked eggs around the edge with a spatula until the sides are firm but the top is still runny, 3–4 minutes.
-
Sprinkle cheese over the frittata. Place the skillet in the oven and broil until the top is set and the cheese is melted, 1–2 minutes. Slice into six equal pieces.
