Spinach mushroom frittata recipe, a quick and easy breakfast recipe with eggs, mushrooms, spinach, and some cheese because well, cheese makes everything better. A frittata is basically a baked omelette, or at least that’s how I like to describe it, and is a welcome variation to egg-based breakfasts if you and your family love them.

TH loves frittata, especially if it contains his favourite ingredients like mushrooms and spinach. The basic ingredients in a frittata more or less remain the same but the proportion can be varied per paste. I kept mine quite light (no cream as some recipes call for) but added a generous amount of parmesan because we love it.

I must mention these other egg recipes on the site which you could try for breakfast too. I make some of them, like the omelettes, over and over again and they remain firm favourites.

Notes:
You can change the amount of eggs and proportion of milk as we all as the cheese.
Cheddar cheese works well in this recipe too
Adjust salt and pepper to your taste and season generously so the frittata doesn’t turn out bland
You can refrigerate the remaining frittata for up to a day and lightly warm before serving, as needed

Hi. If we pack this for breakfast, and have it an hour later, will it be soggy or how it’ll taste? Thanks in advance.

Hi Nags,
This looks like a great, easy dish!
Just one question: when using fresh baby spinach, how much?
Thanks,
JennyReply
nags
Hi Jenny, just use around 100 grams. It can be a bit more or less, doesn’t matter or affect the frittata recipe too much

I’m excited to try your frittata method. I’ve always started frittata on the stove top in a large non-stick skillet to set the sides and the bottom then moved it to the oven under the broiler until the top is golden brown. It’s so hard to gauge cooking times and not dry it out. Your method looks like it would cook through but not dry out.Reply
nags
yes, try it! i used to do the way you do too, then realised this is just way easier

Hi this query is regarding your oreo cheesecake. Can i replace nestle cream with amul?

nags

Amul cream is only 25 percent fat. Will that suffice?

nags
Suffice for? This frittata recipe doesn’t use cream
