Ingredients
Servings
4
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred dairy-free milk)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups mixed wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (such as cremini, shiitake, oyster)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for subtle heat
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
In a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
-
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
-
Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned.
-
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Season the mushroom mixture with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in the fresh parsley, chives, and thyme.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until fully combined.
-
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the mushroom and herb mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
-
Cook over medium heat without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the edges start setting but the center is still slightly runny.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
-
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with extra fresh herbs.
Tips
Allergen Overlap Note
Check every packaged ingredient for certified gluten-free status, especially spices, broths, sauces, seed products, and baking staples. Use clean prep surfaces, dedicated utensils, and fresh parchment or cookware when preparing wild mushroom and herb frittata in a skillet for someone with celiac disease.
Texture Expectations
Keep the frittata edges just set while center remains softly custardy before baking so it rises without drying out. Let it rest 3 to 5 minutes before cutting.
Dining With Non-GF Family Note
Cut large pieces into child-friendly portions and serve from a dedicated gluten-free plating station. Keep any regular side breads separate if serving a mixed-diet table.
