Ingredients Needed
You do not need many fancy items to make this work. Most of these things are probably sitting in your kitchen right now. Let us look at what you need to grab from the fridge and pantry.
- Six large fresh eggs
- One cup of fresh baby spinach leaves
- One cup of sliced button mushrooms
- Half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- Two tablespoons of milk
- One small chopped onion
- One tablespoon of olive oil
- A pinch of salt and black pepper
Step By Step Making
Making this frittata is super simple if you follow these easy steps. Do not rush, and keep your heat medium so nothing burns.
1. Crack all six eggs into a clean bowl. Add your milk, salt, and black pepper. Take a fork and beat everything well until the mixture looks smooth and has a bright yellow color.
2. Place a stove-friendly skillet over medium heat. Pour in your olive oil and let it get warm for a minute. Toss in your chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook them for about four minutes until the mushrooms turn soft and brown.
3. Add your fresh baby spinach to the pan. Stir it around with the mushrooms and onions for just one minute. You will see the spinach shrink down and turn dark green.
4. Pour your beaten egg mixture right over the veggies in the pan. Make sure the eggs spread out evenly so they cover the bottom of the skillet.
5. Sprinkle your shredded cheddar cheese all over the top of the eggs. Let the pan sit on the burner for about five minutes without stirring. You want the edges to look set and firm.
6. Turn your oven to broil. Place your skillet inside the oven for three to four minutes. Watch it closely until the cheese on top melts and turns a lovely golden brown.
7. Carefully take the pan out of the oven using oven mitts. Let it cool for a few minutes before you cut it into wedges and serve it on plates.
