Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup crumbled feta or shredded cheddar
  • ½ cup milk any
  • 1 small shallot finely diced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 oz baby spinach
  • 8 large eggs
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven → Set to 375°F; place rack in middle—grab oven-safe 10-inch skillet.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms → Heat olive oil over medium-high; add mushrooms in one layer—cook 5 minutes undisturbed until golden.
  3. Soften Aromatics → Lower heat; add shallot and garlic—sauté 1 minute until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Wilt Spinach → Pile spinach into skillet off-heat; residual warmth collapses leaves perfectly in 30 seconds.
  5. Whisk Eggs → In large bowl, vigorously beat eggs with milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until frothy.
  6. Combine Filling → Spread mushroom-spinach mixture evenly in skillet; sprinkle half the cheese.
  7. Pour Eggs → Gently pour egg mixture over veggies; tilt skillet to distribute evenly.
  8. Cook Stovetop → Return to medium-low; cook 5 minutes until edges set but center jiggles.
  9. Cheese Crown → Sprinkle remaining cheese on top; transfer to oven—bake 10-12 minutes until puffed.
  10. Broil & Serve → Switch to broil 2 minutes for golden top; rest 5 minutes, then slice into wedges.

Notes

  • Dry-sauté mushrooms first—no oil until browned.
  • Oven-safe skillet is essential for seamless transfer.
  • Resting prevents watery slices.
  • Feta adds tangy punch; cheddar for classic melt.
