Bursting with earthy flavors and creamy Fontina cheese, this frittata is perfect for brunch or a quick breakfast. With estimated preparation and cooking times, it’s a breeze to whip up whenever the craving strikes.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 shallots, finely chopped
• 3 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh savory, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided)
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)
• 10 large eggs
• 1 cup Fontina cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the ingredients.

2. Sauté Shallots: In a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.

3. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, fresh savory, and half of the salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir occasionally until the mushrooms release their juices, about 5 to 6 minutes.

4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Stir in the grated Fontina cheese and the remaining salt and pepper.

5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the mushrooms in the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.

6. Cook on Stove: Allow the frittata to cook without disturbing until about 1/4 inch around the outer edge is set.

7. Bake in Oven: Using a spatula, gently lift some of the egg mixture from the sides of the pan, tilting the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the bottom. Then, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

8. Bake: Bake the frittata in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until it is fully set and golden on top. (Pro tip: Aim for about 18 minutes for the perfect texture.)

9. Serve: Carefully invert the cooked frittata onto a large serving plate. Cut it into wedges, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
