Helpful Tips for Success
Use High-Quality Ingredients
Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and meats will add great taste and texture to your frittata.
Pre-Cook Vegetables
If you are adding vegetables to your frittata, make sure to cook them beforehand. This will ensure that they are fully cooked and add flavor to your frittata.

Variations to Frittata Recipe
Vegetables
Change up the vegetables you place in the frittata. From diced up broccoli, peppers, onions, etc. Feel free to alter the veggies to what you prefer. Just be aware of the moisture that is released in vegetables so aim to use the same amount of vegetables in the recipe.
Kale
Swap the spinach leaves with kale in the dish. This is going to alter the flavor a bit but still give you a nice amount of nutrients in the frittata.
Rest the Frittata
Once the frittata is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to set the eggs and make it easier to cut and serve.
FAQs for Mushroom Spinach Frittata
What is a frittata?
A frittata is an Italian dish that is similar to an omelete or a crustless quiche. It is made by whisking eggs with cheese and other ingredients such as vegetables, meats, and herbs, then cooking the mixture in a skillet on the stove and finishing it in the oven. Frittatas are typically cooked on low heat to avoid burning the bottom, and the pan is often flipped to cook the other side.
How to store leftover frittata?
Place the frittata slices in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate the leftovers for 3-4 days, and then reheat in the microwave or oven.
Can you freeze frittatas?
Frittatas can also be frozen for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place in airtight containers. When ready to eat, defrost the frittata in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in the oven or microwave.
How do you keep a frittata Fluffy?
Making sure to use a bit of dairy and whisking your eggs well are two keys to keeping your frittata fluffy. Otherwise you will find your egg based frittata can fall a bit flat and dense.
