Mushroom and Pepper Frittata, what a tasty delight for a rainy day. It's one of those meals you can have any time. And we had it for supper.
A frittata (in this case Mushroom and Yellow Pepper) is delightful for breakfast or supper, especially when served on a beautiful hand-made plate by Quail Run Pottery.
Mushroom and Pepper Frittata
When served with a small salad, this delicious mushroom and pepper frittata is a complete meal.
When in doubt, make eggs. That's my philosophy. Eggs are comfort food for me. Although I have a number of food sensitivities, the egg is not one of them. Hooray! Periodically, even I don't feel like cooking. Ha. Ha. My first choice for a simple meal is usually an egg dish and this Mushroom and Pepper Frittata hit the spot. We added a nice green salad with a light vinaigrette, and it was the perfect meal.
What You Need
You will need measuring cups and spoons, a bowl, a wire whisk, and a seasoned cast-iron skillet. And a good coffeemaker, of course, because what's a meal like this without good coffee?

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped yellow bell peppers red or green may be substituted
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 4 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt regular salt contains corn
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In an 8-inch cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions and sauté for about 2 minutes until onions start to become soft.
- Add the peppers and continue cooking until they become soft, about 3 minutes.

Continue cooking until they are becoming brown on both sides. When done, remove the mushrooms to a separate dish. This step might take 8-10 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl until frothy.
