Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or white button)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan (or Gruyère, feta, or goat cheese)
- 1/4 cup chopped onions or shallots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1/4 cup whole milk or cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: Chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, chives)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if using the oven method.
- Sauté vegetables: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt, and cook until browned and moisture is released (6–8 minutes).
- Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk or cream, cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Combine: Pour egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients. Let cook on low heat for 3–4 minutes until edges start to set.
- Finish cooking:
- Oven method: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the center is just set.
- Stovetop method: Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes until fully set.
