Cheesy Spinach & Mushroom Frittata
Frittatas are the brunch MVP—versatile, hearty, and perfect for sharing (or saving for later). This cheesy spinach and mushroom version has been a staple in our kitchen for a long time. It’s one of those dishes we reach for when we want something warm, filling, and nourishing without spending hours at the stove.
What we love most about this frittata is the way it strikes that balance between simple and satisfying. Earthy mushrooms, wilted spinach, and creamy eggs all tied together with melted cheese—it’s the kind of dish that works just as well for a weekend brunch as it does for a grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
We’ve made it for family get-togethers, slow Sunday mornings, and even dinner when we’re not in the mood to cook anything complicated. It’s easy to prep, bakes in one pan, and makes the kitchen smell amazing while it’s cooking. Plus, it’s endlessly customizable, so you can toss in whatever you have on hand and still end up with something delicious.
