- Cut Asparagus into 2 1/2-inch lengths.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and cook the asparagus until just tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Drain and place in a bowl.
- In a 10-inch skillet, saute the onion slices, stirring frequently, until about to brown.
- Add the asparagus and mix around.
- Pour the egg milk mixture into the skillet and evenly distribute the asparagus and onion.
- Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the bottom is fairly set.
- Sprinkle the top with the parmesan cheese and cover the skillet.
- Do not stir!
