Description
A savory and elegant Mushroom, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Frittata featuring tender cremini and shiitake mushrooms, fresh baby spinach, aromatic herbs, and creamy goat cheese. Baked to perfection for a satisfying breakfast, brunch, or light dinner.
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Vegetables & Cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces thinly sliced mushrooms (cremini and shiitake)
- 2 cups baby spinach, lightly packed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Adjust the baking rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 325°F to ensure even baking of the frittata.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, chopped fresh herbs, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully combined; then set aside.
- Cook Mushrooms and Spinach: Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and baby spinach, cooking for approximately one minute until the spinach begins to wilt.
- Add Egg Mixture and Cheese: Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly into the skillet over the cooked vegetables. Evenly sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top and dot the surface with crumbled goat cheese.
- Bake the Frittata: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until the center is just set, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- This frittata can be prepared with various mushrooms depending on availability or preference.
- Ensure the skillet used is ovenproof to safely transfer from stovetop to oven.
- Letting the frittata cool slightly helps it set further and makes slicing neater.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated gently.
