175 gm button mushrooms
1 medium size onion finely chopped
2 pods of garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon of olive oil
50 gm parmesan cheese
salt and pepper for seasoning
Method
Preheat the oven to high.
Rinse and dry the spinach & chop it well.
Heat oil in an oven proof skillet on the stove.
Add onion & garlic and saute over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until soft.
Add mushroom and fry, stirring frequently for further 3-4 minutes.
Add spinach and cook for further 3-4 minutes, until the excess liquid has evaporated. Add pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
In the meantime break eggs into a bowl, then add one tablespoon of water. Add salt and pepper and beat together well.(Eggs for frittata may be beaten vigorously to incorporate more air than traditional omelettes, to allow a deeper filling and a fluffier result).
Pour the egg mixture into spinach and cook for 5 minutes in low heat until the eggs will be almost done under but still moist & runny on top.
Sprinkle Cheese over the top , keep skillet inside an oven and grill(broil) for 2- 3 minutes.
If the skillet is not an oven proof, we can carefully place the cooked fritatta on a baking tray or in an oven proof plate under the grill.
