  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1/2 cup diced spring onions and 1/2 cup chopped asparagus, sautéing for 3 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly golden.

  4. Step 4: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown, then let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
