Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 green onions or scallions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or to taste
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Melt butter in a large oven-proof non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, scallions and rosemary and cook, stirring often until softened and the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  3. Add egg mixture to the skillet and let sit undisturbed until it starts to cook along the edges and become opaque yellow. Gently fold edges toward the center of the frittata with a silicone spatula allowing uncooked egg to flow onto the skillet’s surface. Continue folding back cooked edges until the bottom of the frittata is mostly cooked and one solid piece, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not fold after the liquid part of the egg has set enough that to continue to do so would break apart the mass.
  4. Top the frittata with cheddar cheese and immediately transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook until the egg is cooked through and the cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.

Notes

Make Ahead: Prep this frittata ahead by cooking the mushrooms mixture in advance. You can also beat the egg mixture and shred the cheese ahead of time. Store the eggs, mushrooms and cheese in three separate containers in the refrigerator for up to two days in the refrigerator. When you are ready to prepare the frittata, melt an additional tablespoon of butter in the skillet and warm the mushroom mixture through over medium heat before adding in your egg mixture.

Storing Leftovers: The leftover frittata can be cut into wedges and transferred to a large round plate or small platter. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate up to three days.

Reheating: I have found that the best way to reheat frittata is to microwave it. Do so on high for 90 seconds per serving for a 600-watt microwave. This heats it through without drying out the cheese or making the texture tough. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a non-stick skillet. To do so coat the skillet with cooking spray and add a tablespoon of water to the skillet. Add the wedge (or wedges) of frittata and cover with a lid. Set over medium heat and let warm through gently. Cook until the cheese has melted and the frittata is steaming hot. Use a slotted spatula to serve.
