Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with butter; set aside. Mix 1⁄2 cup of the cheese and 1 tsp. of the chives together in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat and cook asparagus until tender, 3–4 minutes. Drain; cool under cold running water, then pat dry. Cut asparagus into 1⁄4"-thick pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add eggs, onions, carrots, flour, milk, remaining 1 1⁄2 cups cheese, 1 tsp. salt, and pepper, and mix well. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until firm, about 45 minutes. Allow frittata to cool in pan on a wire rack.
Step 3
Preheat broiler. Invert frittata onto a sheet pan. Sprinkle top with cheese and chives, and broil until cheese just melts, 1–2 minutes. Transfer to serving plate.
