Recipe: Mushroom and Spinach Frittata
Ingredients:
8 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 cup mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese or Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream or coconut milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Sauté Mushrooms and Spinach: Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and golden brown. Add chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Add Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed mushrooms and spinach in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded Gruyère or Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the frittata mixture.
Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and the edges are lightly golden brown.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips for Success:
Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses like goat cheese or mozzarella to suit your taste preferences.
Herbs: Enhance the flavor profile with herbs such as thyme or basil, either added during cooking or sprinkled on top before serving.
Presentation: Serve with a side salad dressed in a light vinaigrette or fresh berries for a complete and elegant keto meal.
