Today on the menu: mushroom frittata.
Typically I’d just scramble these ingredients together, but sometimes you just gotta live aΒ little and break out of your standard scrambled eggs routine, you know?
I was really excited about this recipe because I LOOOOVVVVE sautΓ©ed mushrooms and think they are the greatest gift known to mankind.
Mr. Peaches will eat mushrooms if I puree them into a sauce or smother them with cheese, butΒ the poorΒ guyΒ just can’t stomach eating them whole after a traumatic experience as a small child which involved losing his lunch after eating mushroom soup. Funny how those things always stick with you.
But if you’reΒ obsessed withΒ eggs and mushrooms like meΒ then this recipe is for you. The lemony arugula on top adds a zesty kick too!
I ate this frittata for lunch but of course it would also be delicious for breakfast or dinner. :)
Cheers,
peaches & cake
