Serves 6 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

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.
