Healthy Frittata Recipe 

To make a healthy frittata recipe takes a tad of patience, but the results are SO worth it, with a delicious meal that's packed with goodness. 

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 x 10 ounce bag pre-sliced mushrooms
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
• 1 x 6-ounce bag baby spinach rinsed
• 8 eggs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Method

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet.
2. Add the mushrooms and cook them, stirring and tossing them often until they begin to sweat and soften, for 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Add salt, pepper and the garlic, and stir together for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
4. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Turn up the heat and let any excess liquid evaporate from the pan. Add a pinch of seasoning.
5. Beat the eggs in a large bowl while the mushrooms are cooking.
6. Stir in salt and pepper to taste, the milk, and the mushroom and spinach mixture. Add the parmesan if desired.
7. Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles, pour in the egg mixture, scraping all of it in with a rubber spatula.
8. Swirl the pan to make the eggs fill evenly over the surface.
9. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
10. Once a few layers of egg have cooked, turn the heat down to low
11. Cover the frittata with a lid for your skillet and let it cook for 10 minutes. Shake the pan gently every once in a while.
12. Every few minutes or so remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn’t burn.
13. While the frittata is cooking, heat the broiler.
14. Then, uncover the pan and place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until the top sets, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn’t burn. Make sure not to put it too close to the heat.
15. When the frittata is golden, remove it from the heat and shake the pan to make sure it isn’t sticking.
16. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and then, loosen the edges with a spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter and cut into wedges. Then, serve.
