NOTES

  • You can use boxed egg whites or a vegan egg substitute in place of the eggs.
  • Feel free to use whatever milk you like, such as skim, 2%, whole, or plant-based.
  • You can use butter in place of the olive oil.
  • You can use rosemary or tarragon in place of the thyme.
  • Feel free to use your favorite variety of mushrooms.
  • You can use Swiss cheese in place of the gruyère.
  • I recommend using a cast-iron skillet for the most even cooking.
  • Take care not to burn the shallot or garlic; this could lead to a bitter-tasting frittata.
  • Bake only until the eggs have just set; otherwise, the eggs may end up rubbery.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.

Storage: Store mushroom frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
