  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  2. Lightly coat two 12-piece nonstick muffin tins with olive oil. 
  3. Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add half & half, thyme, a dash of sea salt, and cracked pepper to taste. Beat with a fork until egg yolks and whites are combined. 
  4. Rinse asparagus under cool running water. Snap off woody ends and discard. Cut the stalks into 1½-inch pieces and place them in a colander. 
  5. Scoop egg mixture equally into muffin tins, using a little less than 1/4 cup for each. 
  6. Add 6 to 8 pieces of asparagus to each frittata, then add about 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese on top. 
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then broil for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned. 
  8. Transfer pans to a cooling rack. Use a rubber spatula to remove each frittata and eat right away or let cool and store in a sealed container for later. Can be frozen individually for up to 1 week or refrigerated for 3 days.
