Drain.
Pan-fry the shallot in the butter until softened but not coloured, then add the spinach and thyme leaves and cook until the leaves have wilted.
Squeeze the liquid from the spinach and transfer the drained mix to a lightly buttered shallow baking dish.
Place the asparagus over the spinach.
Beat the eggs, then combine with the milk and Parmesan.
Season with black pepper and pour over the vegetables.
