Frittata with Mushrooms, Thyme, and Parmigiano Cheese
Sunday mornings have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up, they were synonymous with family gatherings around the kitchen table, the warmth of the sun streaming through the windows, and the irresistible aroma of a frittata cooking in the oven. This recipe for Frittata with Mushrooms, Thyme, and Parmigiano Cheese brings back those cherished memories and is a delightful way to start any day.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 2 egg replacements
- 1 cup trimmed fresh mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup canned whole half and half
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano cheese
- Salt to taste
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Later, you'll switch it to "Broil."
2. Heat an 8-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and coat it with cooking spray or butter.
3. Add the mushrooms and green onions to the pan; sauté for about 12 minutes or until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs and egg replacement with the half and half, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until thoroughly mixed.
5. Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the same pan with the sautéed mushrooms and green onions.
6. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes, or until the mixture is just a little liquid-y/runny on top.
7. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for another 5-10 minutes, until the frittata is completely set.
8. Change the oven setting to "Broil." Place the pan on the lowest rack and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown color.
I remember sitting at the kitchen table, watching my grandmother skillfully prepare this dish. She would tell us stories of her childhood, her voice weaving tales of family traditions and the importance of sharing meals together. The frittata, infused with the earthy flavors of mushrooms and thyme, was always a highlight of our Sunday brunches, bringing everyone together and creating lasting memories.
