Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 clove minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 3: Add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release moisture and become tender.
- Step 4: Stir in 2 cups fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in the skillet.
- Step 5: Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is puffed, set in the center, and golden on top.
- Step 7: Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
