Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper together.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft, a few minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned, another few minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes.
Pour the egg mixture into skillet. Place dollops of ricotta cheese over the surface of the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake until eggs are just set, 12-15 minutes. Remove skillet from oven. Let cool slightly. Then, cut into wedges and serve.

Notes

cast iron skillet
I like to dollop the ricotta cheese on top of the frittata so that you get some yummy bites with the creamy cheese. If you prefer, you can stir the ricotta into the egg mixture.
Be sure to use an oven-safe skillet. I like using a cast iron skillet. To prevent sticking, make sure the skillet is well greased.
Customize this recipe with whatever ingredients you like. You can add meat like sausage or diced chicken, different veggies like bell peppers or zucchini, or different herbs and cheeses.
