Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons minced shallots
3 cups shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced thin
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh savory, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
10 large eggs
1 cup Fontina cheese, shredded (about 3 ounces)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
  • In a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add shallots, and cook about 2 minutes, until they just start to soften.
  • Add mushrooms, savory, half of the salt and pepper; stir often, until mushrooms release juices- about 5 or 6 minutes.
  • In bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.
  • Stir in cheese and remaining salt and pepper.
  • Pour eggs over mushroom in skillet, tilting pan to spread evenly.
  • Cook without disturbing until about 1/4 inch around the outer edge is set.
  • With a spatula, lift some of the egg mixture from the sides of the pan, tipping pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the bottom.
  • Place skillet in oven, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • (It's usually sometime between there, so aim for about 18 minutes just to be safe.) Invert frittata onto a large serving plate, cut into wedges, and serve warm.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
12 crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, a couple of handfuls, stems removed, chopped
1 cup oyster mushrooms, a couple of handfuls, chopped
1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Coarse salt and pepper
12 eggs, beaten
Dash of half-and-half
1 lemon, zested
2 scallions, sliced
2 teaspoons hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1/2 cup Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet, with oven safe handle over medium to medium-high heat. Wrapping a rubber handle in foil will allow the pan to transfer to oven as well.
  • To hot pan, add oil and mushrooms. Season mushrooms with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until all of the veggies are tender. Beat eggs with salt and pepper, dash of half-and-half, lemon zest, scallions and hot sauce. Pour over the mushrooms. Lift and settle eggs in the pan as they brown on the bottom. When the eggs are set but remain uncooked on top, transfer to oven for 7 or 8 minutes, until frittata is golden brown and puffy. Sprinkle the frittata with cheese and return to the oven for 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Serve frittata from the hot pan and cut into 6 wedges at the table.

MAGIC MUSHROOM FRITTATA



Magic Mushroom Frittata image

This vegetarian frittata recipe relies on protein-rich kefir farmer cheese and eggs for a hunger fix and shiitakes for their meaty texture; sautéing coaxes out their smoky, savory essence.

Provided by Julie Smolyansky

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
Maldon sea salt
1/2 cup firmly packed lacinato (Tuscan) kale, plus a few extra leaves for garnish (optional)
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/4 cup sliced red onion
6 large brown eggs
3/4 cup organic plain whole-milk kefir
Kefir Farmer Cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • In a medium sauté pan, heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil over medium- high heat until slightly shimmering. Add the shiitake slices, spreading them evenly around the pan. Now leave those mushrooms alone! Do not touch them until that sizzling sound quiets down; this will help them develop a beautiful golden brown caramelization on one side. Once that happens, give the pan a stir with a wooden spoon, loosening all the mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes more and season with a pinch of sea salt. (Do not salt until the end, as salting draws out moisture in the pan and prevents caramelization.) Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside in a bowl or plate to cool.
  • Trim the kale off of its stem and cut into thin strips. In a medium sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red onion. When the garlic is slightly browned, add the kale and sauté until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. (Add a small amount of water if the kale begins to stick or turn too brown.) Season with a pinch of sea salt and set aside with the mushrooms.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place a large shallow nonstick ovenproof dish in the oven.
  • In a bowl, whip the eggs with a whisk until fully beaten and slightly fluffy. Stir in the kefir, 1/2 cup of the olive oil, the farmer cheese, cooked mushrooms, sautéed kale, chopped herbs, and 2 pinches of salt. Pour the entire mixture into the heated ovenproof dish, and bake until slightly browned on top and a knife stuck in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. (If opting for the kale garnish, add the leaves after 15 minutes of cooking.)

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large eggs
1/2 cup goat's milk
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium leeks, white parts and a little of the light green part, halved and sliced thinly. (Note -- Make sure to wash thoroughly, after cutting in half, pat dry.)
1/2 lb shiitake mushroom, stems removed, and sliced into 1/4 inch slices. You can substitute cremini mushrooms for the shiitak
1/4 lb sheep milk or 1/4 lb goat milk feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add goat milk, salt and pepper and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Heat olive oil over medium in a medium-sized cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof skillet.
  • Add leeks and sauté until leeks begin to soften, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add mushrooms.
  • Continue to sauté until mushrooms have released their fluid and are soft, about another 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Pour egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Allow to cook on the stovetop for 3 or 4 minutes. Sprinkle feta over the top of the eggs, pushing the cheese into the egg mixture so it is submerged.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. The top of the frittata should be golden yellow and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh shiitake mushrooms. Look for mushrooms that are plump and have a firm, meaty texture. Avoid mushrooms that are slimy or have brown or black spots.
  • Slice the shiitake mushrooms thinly. This will help them cook evenly in the frittata.
  • Use a nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and tearing.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Cover the skillet while the frittata is cooking. This will help the frittata cook through.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Shiitake mushroom frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is a great way to use up leftover shiitake mushrooms. The frittata can be served on its own or with a side of toast, salad, or fruit.
