- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3/4 cup diced sweet peppers (red, green, or any color really!)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and diced peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms and onions are tender and the peppers are slightly softened.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed mushrooms, onions, and peppers in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and slightly golden on top.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms to add more depth of flavor. Cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms work beautifully in this frittata. Don’t be afraid to add other veggies or herbs to customize the frittata to your liking. Spinach, tomatoes, or fresh herbs like thyme or basil can add extra layers of taste. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta or goat cheese on top of the frittata before baking. Serve the mushroom and sweet red pepper frittata with a side of fresh salad greens or crusty bread for a complete meal. Enjoy!
