Mushroom Frittata Recipe
Description
Mushroom Frittata begins with whisking eggs, heavy cream, and salt to create a rich base. Separately, onions and sliced mushrooms are sautéed in butter until softened and browned, enhancing their flavor. These vegetables are spread evenly in a cast iron skillet, then topped with shredded mozzarella cheese. The egg mixture is poured over, finishing with cheese and optional reserved mushrooms for garnish.
It is baked uncovered at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until the eggs just set, giving a tender yet firm texture that holds together when sliced. The combination of sautéed mushrooms and melted cheese lends umami richness and mild creaminess throughout.
This frittata is a filling breakfast or brunch option that can be served warm or at room temperature. Its firm yet soft texture makes it easy to slice and share. Using a cast iron skillet facilitates even heat and presentation straight from oven to table.
Ingredients
- 8 egg large
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1/2 onion finely chopped, medium
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese grated, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt. Set aside.
- Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add the onions. Sauté until slightly softened.
- Add the mushrooms, cook until golden brown in color and soft, about five minutes. Spread them out in an even layer in the skillet. (Optionally, set aside a few for the top.)
- Sprinkle one cup of cheese over the mushrooms, then pour in the egg mixture. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese, and a few mushrooms (if desired).
- Immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg mixture has just set. Cool the frittata for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy!
