Frittatas are a great way to make a quick, nutritious meal that is both versatile and delicious. This mushroom and garlic frittata brings out rich and earthy flavors, complemented by the freshness of parsley and a hint of olive oil. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, this dish is sure to satisfy your hunger and delight your senses.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with the milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cook the Mushrooms and Garlic:
- In a non-stick, oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the beaten eggs and milk mixture into the skillet over the mushrooms and garlic.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley evenly over the top.
4. Cook the Frittata:
- Let the frittata cook on the stovetop without stirring, allowing the edges to set, for about 5-7 minutes. The center will still be slightly runny.
5. Finish in the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to a broil setting.
- Once the edges of the frittata are set, drizzle the olive oil and vinegar evenly over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and broil for about 3-5 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set.
6. Serve:
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (it will be hot!).
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- Preparation is key: Have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking. This includes slicing the mushrooms, mincing the garlic, and chopping the fresh parsley.

- Use non-stick cookware: To ensure your frittata doesn't stick and cooks evenly, use a good quality non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan.

- Evenly distribute ingredients: Spread the mushrooms, garlic, and parsley evenly across the pan before adding the egg mixture to ensure each bite is flavorful.

- Cook on low heat: Cooking the frittata on low to medium heat prevents it from burning on the bottom while allowing the eggs to cook through evenly.

- Finish under the broiler: For a beautifully golden and slightly crispy top, consider finishing the frittata under the broiler for a minute or two.

- Add a splash of dairy: Incorporating a bit of milk into the eggs creates a silkier texture and enhances the overall flavor of the frittata.

Enjoy your mushroom and garlic frittata hot from the pan, perhaps with a side of mixed greens or some crusty bread. The combination of garlic, mushrooms, and fresh parsley creates a wonderfully aromatic and flavorful experience that is both comforting and satisfying. This dish is not only easy to prepare but also a delightful way to enjoy a healthy, home-cooked meal.
