Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed mushrooms and onion. Stir in the crumbled bacon, ensuring even distribution.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the frittata.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Once baked, remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before slicing into wedges.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Bacon and Mushroom Frittata!
