Mushroom and Onion Frittata
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small thinly sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and become golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms and onions in the skillet. Cook, lifting the edges of the frittata and tilting the skillet to let the uncooked egg flow underneath, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly, about 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the frittata. Place the skillet under the broiler and broil until the top is set and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley over the frittata. Slide the frittata onto a cutting board, let it cool for a few minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.

For a twist, some chefs add a touch of truffle oil or fresh herbs to elevate the flavors. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, the Mushroom and Onion Frittata continues to be a beloved dish that captures the essence of Italian comfort food.
