ShroomSpy is delighted to bring you a breakfast recipe that’s not only nutritious but also packed with flavors - the Pioppino Mushroom Frittata. Known for their nutty flavor and firm texture, Pioppino mushrooms are a culinary treasure in Italian cuisine, making them the star of our frittata recipe. This dish is a testament to the simplicity of Italian cooking, focusing on high-quality ingredients and straightforward methods to produce food that comforts the soul.
Why Pioppino Mushrooms?
Pioppino mushrooms, with their earthy and slightly peppery taste, add a depth of flavor to dishes that few other ingredients can. When cooked, they retain a pleasant firmness, providing a satisfying chewiness to the frittata. Their robust flavor profiles make Pioppino mushrooms an ideal choice for egg-based dishes, where they can truly shine.Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or a dairy-free alternative
- 1 cup Pioppino mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Additional herbs like basil or chives for garnish
Instructions:
- Prep the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a non-stick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Add the Pioppino mushrooms and cook until they're tender and slightly golden.
- Mix the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and half of the parsley. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese if using.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed mushrooms in the skillet. Arrange the cherry tomatoes evenly on top. Let it cook on the stovetop over low-medium heat until the edges start to set, about 5 minutes.
- Broil to Perfection: Preheat the broiler. Place the skillet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the top of the frittata is set and golden.
- Serve: Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley and any additional herbs you like. Slice and serve warm directly from the skillet.
