This baked mushroom & spinach frittata is a wholesome breakfast or a brunch recipe that can serve a crowd or make plenty of leftovers.
What is a Frittata?
Frittata is a glorified version of a humble omelette. It's a bunch of eggs whisked together with whatever veggies, greens and/or meat you have in hand and cooked in a skillet. Then finish off or browned in an oven. They are great for breakfast or brunch. On the weekends where I haven't planned any breakfast menus this baked frittata recipe is a life saver.
Baked Mushroom & Spinach Frittata
I don't follow a recipe when making frittata. After all, frittatas are very forgiving. But I measured the ingredients on my testings and this is the best version. I like to bake my frittata than cooking on the stove top. Less work and I get perfectly cooked frittata every single time. No burned bottom, guys.
So, here's what I do.
Whisk the eggs and salt in a bowl.
Cook the chicken strips. You can go crazy here. Leftover chicken or meat will be a great addition. Or you can do meatless.
Saute onion and mushroom.
Add the veggies, meat, cheese and spices to a baking dish.
Bake for 25 to 30 mins. You can make a simple salad and some salsa during that time.
I love my frittatas with side of salad and salsa on top.
There are a dozen eggs in the frittata. Don't be alarmed. It definitely serves a crowd. Perfect for when having guests over for breakfast or brunch.
What I love about this dish I have plenty of leftovers for couple of days' meals. It's perfect for on-the-go breakfasts or for packed lunches.
What are you waiting for ? Make some frittata this weekend and tell me how it turned out !
