Main Frittata
-
- 10 eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parmesan cheese, grated
Roasted Cherry Tomatoes (Optional Garnish)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven โ Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) to ensure that it is ready for baking the frittata after the stovetop steps.
- Prepare the Eggs โ In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until well combined. Set the bowl aside for later use.
- Sautรฉ Mushrooms โ Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet (such as cast iron) over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Spinach โ Add the minced garlic and the spinach leaves to the skillet. Continue to sautรฉ for another 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the spinach has softened (but is not fully wilted).
- Combine with Eggs โ Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mushroom and spinach mixture to the bowl with the whisked eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste, then mix thoroughly to combine.
- Assemble Frittata โ Pour the egg and vegetable mixture back into your oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake the Frittata โ Place the skillet on the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the eggs are just set and no longer runny.
- Broil to Finish โ Move the skillet to the top oven rack and broil for an additional 2 minutes, to lightly brown the cheese on top.
- Cool and Serve โ Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Prepare Roasted Cherry Tomatoes (Optional) โ To make the garnish, place cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and roast in the 350ยฐF oven for 5-7 minutes until they split and soften. Remove and arrange on top of the finished frittata if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, omit the parmesan cheese or use a plant-based substitute.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
- The frittata can be served warm or at room temperature, making it ideal for meal prep or gatherings.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or any oven-safe pan for best results.
- Roasted cherry tomatoes are optional but add a delightful burst of flavor and color.
