Garlic Mushroom Frittata

A freshly baked garlic mushroom frittata, sliced and garnished with herbs.

This garlic mushroom frittata is the perfect balance of flavour, nutrition, and simplicity. It’s packed with protein from eggs, making it a great option for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner, and beyond its taste, this dish is loaded with nutrients that support overall health. It’s also easy to customise, just swap in different mushrooms, add cheese for extra creaminess, or throw in extra greens for a more vibrant dish. Serve it warm or enjoy it cold for a convenient, high-protein meal that keeps you feeling energised throughout the day.

Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 1½ cups mushrooms (such as cremini or button)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or oregano

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan or feta 

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • ½ cup baby spinach 

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.

  2. Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Set aside.

  3. Sauté garlic and mushrooms: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.

  4. Pour egg mixture over mushrooms in the skillet (or transfer everything to a baking dish). Sprinkle with cheese if using.

  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center.

  6. Garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve warm.
