Roasted Mushroom Frittata - an excellent breakfast
A frittata is the Italian version of an omelet (or in French, omelet). I love this Roasted Mushroom Frittata and I find frittatas much easier to make than omelets. There's no flipping it over. You cook it on top of the stove until it is mostly set, and then you finish it off under the broiler for a couple of minutes. It makes the top a little bit brown and the whole thing is so tasty. Trust me, you got this.

What You Need
You will need a good, flat pan. My favorite is an 10" cast iron pan, nicely seasoned so it doesn't stick. You'll also need a baking sheet and some parchment paper to roast the mushrooms. As you can see, I didn't use our cast iron pan. I used one of our new Zwilling pans. Don was not happy about that, but really, it worked fine and I don't think there was any danger of damaging the pan. Use the proper nonstick utensils to cut the frittata, though, if you are using this type of pan. No worries about a cast iron pan, so that's a better choice.
But what you really want is a great coffee maker, am I right?

Mix and Cook
- While the vegetables are cooking, place the eggs in a medium bowl and whisk until emulsified.
- Add the milk, salt, and pepper; whisk, and pour the egg mixture into the hot cast iron skillet.
- Cook over medium heat until the egg mixture is nearly set.
Spread
- Sprinkle the cheeses evenly over the top of the cooked eggs and vegetables.
