Mushroon & garlic frittata FAQ:

What is the cooking time for the frittata?

The frittata takes about 5-7 minutes to cook on the stovetop until the edges are set. After transferring it to the oven, broil for an additional 3-5 minutes until the top is golden and the center is just set.

How do I know when the frittata is done?

The frittata is done when the edges are fully set and the center is slightly firm. A golden-brown top and a knife inserted in the center coming out clean are good indicators of doneness.

Can I store leftovers and how should I do it?

Yes, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in an oven before serving.

What can I substitute for the mushrooms?

You can substitute mushrooms with cooked spinach, diced bell peppers, or zucchini. Adjust cooking times depending on the substitute for proper tenderness.

Is this frittata suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, this frittata is naturally gluten-free as it does not contain any gluten-containing ingredients. Always ensure your other ingredients are also gluten-free if dietary restrictions apply.

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.
