Steps:

Preheat the broiler.

Heat the oil and butter in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
Raise the heat to medium-high.
Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer.
Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes.
Place the skillet under the broiler.

Let the frittata stand 2 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.
