This mushroom frittata comes from Luca Citi of Cafe
Citi in Kenwood.
Slice mushrooms and saute in a few tablespoons of
olive oil, then
season with garlic, salt and pepper, parsley and mint.
Add tomatoes
to the pan and cook down over high heat until there
is nearly no
liquid left. Let cool.
Mix eggs with cheese, then add mushroom/tomato mixture.
Heat
remaining oil in heavy, nonstick frying pan, then
pour in
egg/cheese/mushroom mixture and cook slowly over medium
low heat,
letting the egg cook on the bottom, lifting up the
edges with a
spatula to let the runny egg move to the bottom and
cook
When the mixture is partially set and the bottom has
browned, either
invert the frittata onto a plate and then flip back
into the pan,
cooking over medium heat until it too is browned and
set, or place
under the broiler to broil until golden brown and
cooked through.
Serve either hot or cool.
Serves 6 as a first course or lunch dish.
