Hearty Spinach and Mushroom Frittata

Hearty Spinach and Mushroom Frittata

A scrumptious frittata brimming with fresh spinach, succulent mushrooms, and creamy cheddar cheese. Originating from Italy, the frittata is a versatile egg-based dish similar to a crustless quiche or an unfolded omelette. This hearty version is a perfect option for a leisurely weekend brunch or a quick and nutritious weeknight dinner. Packed with protein and veggies, it's a balanced meal that's as delicious as it is healthy.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Milk (1/4 cup)
  • Eggs (6, large)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Onion (1, medium, diced)
  • Mushrooms (1 cup, sliced)
  • Spinach (2 cups, fresh)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the spinach has wilted.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to evenly distribute the vegetables throughout the eggs.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and golden.
  8. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
