How to Make a Mushroom Frittata
This oven-baked mushroom frittata is like making your favorite breakfast eggs, but the oven does most of the cooking for you. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe card.
- Prepare the oven. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and Dijon until smooth. Set it aside.
- Fry the mushrooms. Add olive oil and mushrooms to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook them till brown. They should release all moisture.
- Pour in the egg. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pan. Do not move at all. Let the mixture sit in the hot pan for 4 minutes.
- Bake it. Sprinkle green onions and goat cheese on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the frittata is set. It's ready when the center no longer jiggles when you gently shake the skillet.
- serve Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Frittata
You can make this tender mushroom frittata in the oven if you want!
- go low Don't increase the heat because the eggs will cook quickly. All you do is burn the bottom and sides before the center has a chance to cook.
- Do not touch it. Once you pour the eggs into the pan, do not touch them or move them around. The only way to ensure a super silky, smooth frittata interior is to leave them alone.
- Make mini frittatas. Grease a muffin pan with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into each cavity until 3/4 second is full. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes or until egg is set.
- Expel more air. When whisking the eggs, milk, and dijon, the more air you let into the eggs, the fluffier the frittata will be. You can do this by stirring the mixture in and out with a whisk.
- Avoid the stove. If you do not want to turn on the oven, after 4 minutes, cover the pan with a lid and cook the frittata in the oven. Cook it for another 10-15 minutes. The trapped steam will help cook the center until crispy.
