Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Mushrooms, sliced (2 cups)
- Onion, finely chopped (1 medium)
- Garlic, minced (2 cloves)
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, chives), chopped (3 tablespoons)
- Eggs (6 large)
- Milk (1/4 cup)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
- Grated cheese (such as cheddar or gruyere) (1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Saute until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped herbs and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to marry.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sauteed mushrooms and onions in the skillet. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the frittata is fully set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your flavorful journey into Italian cuisine!
