Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces (454 g) button mushrooms, sliced
8 large eggs
¼ cup (60 g) sour cream
¼ teaspoon (1.5 g) sea salt
¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) black pepper
¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) dried thyme
½ cup (50 g) scallions (green parts), chopped
½ cup (50 g) parmesan cheese, grated
Olive oil spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Mushrooms:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.
4. Add Scallions and Parmesan:
Stir in the chopped scallions and grated parmesan cheese into the egg mixture.
5. Combine and Cook:
Pour the egg mixture over the cooked mushrooms in the skillet.
Stir gently to distribute the mushrooms evenly.
6. Bake the Frittata:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.
7. Serve:
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly.
Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
Make Ahead: Frittata can be made ahead and served warm, at room temperature, or even cold.
Vegetable Variations: Add spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes for extra flavor.
Cheese Options: Swap parmesan with cheddar or feta for a different taste.
Customize ingredients: Add spinach, bell peppers, or cooked bacon for variety.
Use the right pan: An oven-safe, nonstick skillet is ideal for easy release and even cooking.
Check doneness: The frittata is ready when the center is firm and no longer jiggly.
No oven? Finish cooking on the stovetop over low heat with a lid to set the top.
Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm or at room temperature with:
A crisp green salad with vinaigrette

Fresh fruit or a yogurt parfait for a balanced meal
