You can even switch out veggies and meats in this recipe to make this your go-to frittata that you can change your flavors as you and your family want. This was amazing as-is and was the perfect starter (with some garlic bread) to our Mother’s Day celebration this year. Get your fresh ingredients & enjoy breakfast to thrill… oh yeah – this would make a great “Breakfast for Dinner” meal too!

Spinach & Mushroom Frittata

  • 8 large fresh eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 onion – minced
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • large handful fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tsp sundried tomatoes
  • 6 oz Portobello mushrooms – cut into bite size pieces
  • < 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano – grated

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, sun dried tomato and Parmigiano. Whisk together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, set aside. Into a cast iron pan (or other oven safe pan) add the olive oil and onion and saute approx 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms, reduce heat to low and continue to stir while cooking until mushrooms have released their water. Add spinach and cook just until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour egg mixture into pan and stir gently to combine. Allow to cook until the sides begin to set up. Transfer to oven and cook until eggs are no longer giggly. Approx 15 mins {check it every so often} Transfer to serving plate & enjoy immediately.
