Mushroom, Zucchini and Spinach Frittata

Today will be the first time for me to bake a turkey. It’s exiting, isn’t it! I got up quite early to find some informations on going through the whole process and wow, that’s big. It will be my first Thanksgivings as well. Anyway to start such a good day I’ve made a frittata (it’s a day of first time experiences for me) and it’s delicious. You can prepare all the ingredients in the evening, including a fried vegetables mix and in the morning just whisk eggs, mix everything together and bake. It is amazing to eat a warm frittata in the morning.

You will need:

• 1 red onion, tiny sliced
• 50g bacon, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 90g mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2 zucchini, diced
• 1 handful baby spinach
• 4 eggs
• 60 ml milk
• 2 tbsp shredded parmesan
• 2 tbsp basil, shredded

On a big frying pan heat the oil, add the onion, bacon and garlic and fry for about 4 minutes (until soft). Add zucchini and mushrooms and fry until the mushrooms are soft and all liquid evaporated. Stir in the spinach, fry for 1-2 minutes longer and set aside to cool it down.

In a large bowl whisk together eggs with milk and add the cheese, basil and cooled vegetable mixture. 

Heat the oven to 190C, grease a baking form (18-20 cm), pour in the mixture and smooth the surface. Cover it with a silver paper and bake for about 25 minutes. Take off the silver and bake for another 10 minutes, until the surface will turn nicely golden.

Take it out to cool and serve with a fresh bread or without 🙂

Enjoy, Marta
