Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the frittata cooks evenly and gets a nice golden color on top.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are soft and lightly browned.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed mushrooms and tomatoes in the skillet. Gently stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the frittata mixture.
- Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes, without stirring, until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice.
- Carefully slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Mushroom and Tomato Frittata!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The key to an exceptional frittata is using the freshest eggs, mushrooms, and tomatoes you can find. Fresh ingredients make all the difference in flavor and texture.
- Don't Overcook: Watch your frittata carefully in the oven. The perfect frittata should be slightly puffy and set in the center, but not dry or rubbery.
- Use the Right Pan: A cast-iron skillet or oven-safe non-stick pan works best for even cooking and easy serving.
- Let It Rest: Always allow your frittata to cool for a few minutes after cooking. This helps it set and makes slicing much easier.
- Get Creative with Cheese: While the recipe calls for shredded cheese, feel free to experiment with different varieties like feta, goat cheese, or your favorite blend.
- Make It Ahead: This frittata is perfect for meal prep! It can be refrigerated and reheated, making it an excellent option for busy mornings or quick lunches. Pro tip: Serve with a side of fresh herbs or a light salad to elevate this already spectacular dish to restaurant-quality perfection!
