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.

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons olive oil
6 oz fresh spinach, stems removed, torn into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups loosely packed)
5 to 6 cherry tomatoes, quartered

Steps:

  • In small bowl with wire whisk or fork, beat eggs. Stir in cheese, garlic powder, basil, salt, pepper and nutmeg; set aside.
  • In 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with sloping sides (omelet or crepe pan), heat oil over medium heat. Add spinach; cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once or twice and watching carefully to prevent burning, until spinach is slightly wilted (if necessary, add 2 tablespoons water if spinach becomes dry).
  • Reduce heat to low. Spread spinach evenly in skillet; top evenly with tomatoes. Pour egg mixture over top. Cover; cook 12 to 15 minutes or until bottom is lightly browned and top is set, lifting edges occasionally to allow uncooked egg mixture to flow to bottom of skillet. Cut into wedges.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
8 cloves garlic, smashed
1 shallot, sliced
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
4 cups bagged fresh spinach
¾ cup diced cooked ham
9 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic and shallot in hot butter until shallot is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir mushrooms into shallot and garlic; cook and stir until mushrooms begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir spinach into mushroom mixture, cover, and cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in ham, cook until ham begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour eggs evenly into skillet and cover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the frittata is set in the middle and lightly puffed, about 25 minutes. A knife inserted into the center of the frittata should come out clean. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, let stand until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Spinach for Even Cooking: Baby spinach has a more delicate flavor and cooks evenly compared to mature spinach. For consistent results, use baby spinach.
  • Season Your Eggs: Don't forget to season your eggs before adding them to the pan. Salt and pepper are classic choices, but you can also add a touch of garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs like oregano or basil.
  • Cook the Spinach Properly: Wilting the spinach before adding it to the frittata helps remove excess moisture and prevents it from releasing too much water during cooking.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan or Grease it Well: A non-stick pan is ideal for making a frittata as it prevents sticking. If using a regular pan, make sure to grease it generously with butter or oil to avoid the frittata sticking.
  • Keep an Eye on the Frittata While Baking: The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your frittata and the heat of your oven. It's important to keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when the frittata is cooked through.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the egg mixture can result in a tough and rubbery frittata. Gently whisk the eggs and milk just until combined.

Conclusion:

Spinach frittata is a delicious, versatile, and nutritious meal that's perfect for any time of day. With its combination of healthy ingredients like spinach, eggs, and flavorful fillings, it's a great option for a protein-packed breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The customizable nature of the frittata allows you to experiment with different fillings and toppings to suit your preferences, making it a fun and satisfying dish to create and enjoy.
