Steps:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Heat the oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the scallions.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, mushroom broth, parsley, nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper. Gently stir in the blue cheese.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently to avoid breaking up the cheese too much, until the eggs begin to set, about 4 minutes.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until the frittata is set, 3 to 4 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes in the skillet and then slide the frittata onto a cutting board or plate. Cut into wedges.

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.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the broiler with the rack in the second position from the top.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp salt, a few grinds of pepper, the nutmeg, and cayenne.
- 3. In a 12-in/30.5-cm ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When the butter is melted and hot, add the potatoes and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes, stirring every now and then, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper and continue to cook and stir until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and are dry, about 4 minutes. Add the peas and cook until all of the veggies are tender and the peas are warmed through, another minute or two. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spread the filling evenly over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
- 4. Pour the eggs evenly over the vegetables in the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then remove the lid and transfer the pan to the broiler. Broil the frittata until the top is lightly browned and the eggs have firmed up in the center, about 4 minutes. To test, press the center of the frittata lightly with your finger. If it feels firm, it's done.
- 5. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes on a wire rack on the countertop to continue to firm up before cutting it into wedges. It will be puffy when it comes out of the oven but will deflate and become firmer as it cools. Serve the frittata hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Melt butter in heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Beat eggs and green onions to blend in bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over mushrooms and stir briefly. Let eggs begin to set around edges. Lift edges and tilt pan, letting uncooked portion flow under cooked eggs. Cook until eggs are almost set but still slightly moist, about 30 seconds. Arrange cheese slices atop frittata. Broil until cheese melts and bubbles. Slide frittata onto plate and serve.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many mushrooms and cheese, the frittata will be too thick and will not cook evenly.
- Cook the frittata over medium-low heat: This will help it to cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the frittata halfway through cooking: This will ensure that it is cooked evenly on both sides.
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help it to hold its shape.
