Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an 8-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup diced shallot and cook for 2 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms release liquid and brown slightly.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups packed fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted and reduced by half (about 2 minutes).
  4. Step 4: In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped dill until fully combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour egg mixture over the mushroom-spinach mixture in the skillet, ensuring even distribution. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until edges set but center is still slightly runny.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top. Transfer skillet to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the center is fully set and golden around the edges.
  7. Step 7: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving hot.

How do I store leftover Mushroom Spinach Frittata with Herbed Goat Cheese?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.

Can I substitute ingredients in Mushroom Spinach Frittata with Herbed Goat Cheese?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Mushroom Spinach Frittata with Herbed Goat Cheese for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
