Save RecipeIngredients
- 6 Whole Eggs
- 1/4 C Half & Half
- 3 TBSP Water
- 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 6 Baby Portobello Mushrooms, cleaned + gills removed.
- 2 Handfuls Arugula, washed and dried
- 6 Cherry Tomatoes, washed
- 2 oz Feta Cheese. Either cubed or use crumbled.
- Sea salt and Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and clean your veggies.
- Chop the portobello mushroom stems, and slice the caps into thin slices. Set aside.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, half & half, water, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until blended. Set aside.
- Add olive oil to a 10” non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat. Add Portobello mushroom slices and chopped stems and cook approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the mushrooms are browned, remove 3 uniformly sized mushroom slices from the pan and set aside.
- Add arugula to pan and stir constantly until wilted, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Spread mushrooms and arugula into a uniform layer across the bottom of the pan. Pour egg mixture on top and let cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the egg begins to set on bottom.
- Reduce heat to just above the “low” setting and cover. Cook 8-9 minutes, then remove lid and arrange the 3 Portobello strips, cherry tomato halves, and Feta chunks in a decorative pattern, if desired. If not, simply scatter those ingredients across the top of the frittata before covering again.
- Cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through and the Feta has just begun to melt. Remove from heat and carefully transfer to a serving platter and cut into wedges.
- Serve warm or enjoy at room temperature.
