Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 ounces Fontina cheese or mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

    plus more for the pan

  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion

    minced

  • 3 large cloves garlic

    minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups packed baby spinach leaves

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush a 9-inch pie plate with olive oil and set it on a baking sheet.

    Whisk the eggs and cube the cheese: In a large bowl, aggressively whisk together the eggs and milk. Cube the Fontina cheese and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the vegetables: Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms shrink and the onions are translucent, about 10 to 15 minutes depending upon the size of your mushrooms. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the vegetables and stir, cooking for another minute or two. Add the spinach, stir until wilted, this should take about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
