Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 eggs
1/4 cup 2% low-fat milk
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup red pepper, diced
8 ounces sliced small mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced parsley (optional)
3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese, Swiss or 3/4 cup jarlsberg cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or measuring cup whisk eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, sage and pepper together until well mixed, set aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
  • In a 10"(25 cm) non-stick skillet heat oil over medium- high heat; sauté onion and red pepper 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms and sauté 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned; add garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet mixing lightly to incorporate mushrooms; sprinkle with parsley if desired. Bake in oven about 12-15 minutes or until just set in the centre and no longer moist on top. Sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for 2 minutes to melt cheese. Loosen around the edges with a rubber spatula and slide out onto serving plate. Cut in wedges to serve. Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • Variation: Instead of cooking the frittata in oven it may be cooked on top of stove over medium- low heat; lifting outer edges of omelet to allow uncooked portion to run underneath, then cover and cook until just set. Turn off heat. Sprinkle with cheese and cover to melt cheese.
  • Tip: Substitute 4 eggs and 4 egg whites for the 8 eggs to lower fat.

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH FRITTATA



Mushroom and Spinach Frittata image

Use bagged, presliced mushrooms and baby spinach for this and it will come together very quickly. The frittata is great for dinner, breakfast, brunch or lunch.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 10 ounce bag presliced mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed
8 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring or tossing often, until they begin to sweat and soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and the garlic, and stir together until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Turn up the heat and let any excess liquid evaporate from the pan, then remove from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl (you can do this while the mushrooms are cooking). Stir in salt and pepper to taste, the milk, and the mushroom and spinach mixture. Add the Parmesan if desired.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet until it feels hot when you hold your hand about 1 inch above it. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping all of it in with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden. The eggs should be just about set though there will be a layer on the top that is not.
  • Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the top sets, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. It can be a little runny in the middle if you like it that way. Loosen the edges with a spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.

Tips:

  • Use a large nonstick skillet to ensure the frittata cooks evenly and doesn't stick.
  • Make sure to preheat the skillet over medium heat before adding the oil and ingredients. This will help prevent the frittata from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're using a lot of ingredients, cook them in batches or use a larger skillet.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and the center is set. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • To check if the frittata is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the frittata is done.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This cheesy pepper and mushroom frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this frittata a try.
