Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounce cremini mushrooms (sliced)
4 eggs (large)
0.25 cup milk
2 ounce shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 slice whole wheat bread
5 ounce mixed greens salad (bagged)
2 tablespoon vinaigrette dressing

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and lightly browned.
While mushrooms cook, in a medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, 1 ounce of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the cooked mushrooms in the skillet, ensuring mushrooms are evenly distributed. Gently stir if needed.
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata are set and the center is mostly firm.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the frittata. Cover and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
While the frittata finishes, toast the whole wheat bread. Toss the mixed greens salad with vinaigrette dressing.
Slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with toasted bread and green salad.

Notes

A frittata is versatile; feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. Cook in an oven-safe skillet to finish under the broiler for a browned top, if desired.
