It’s hard to pick a favorite meal of the day… but I gotta say that breakfast has to be in the top 3 😉 Jokes aside, I know I can’t function without starting my day with a good meal. This mushroom and cheese frittata is great for feeding a group or for meal prepping breakfast for the week! The coconut milk makes the eggs light and fluffy, and who can say no to cheese?! Not a fan of mushrooms? This recipe is versatile – you can switch out for bell peppers or add bacon… This frittata is your oyster! (Or something like that.) Serves 4-6.

You’ll need:
– 4 Tbsp butter (1/2 of a stick)
– 1 shallot, finely chopped
– 2 cups of mushrooms, washed and thinly sliced (I used Baby Bellas, but you can use any kind you prefer – or even a mix of different varieties!)
– 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
– 1 Tbsp of minced garlic
– 1 Tbsp of Thyme + another 1 tsp for topping
– 12 eggs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese + another 2 Tbsp for topping
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp Italian seasoning
– 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 tsp pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425* F
2. Set your stovetop to medium heat and start heating up your cast iron skillet. Melt the butter.
3. Once the butter is fully melted, add the chopped shallots, minced garlic, mushrooms, and thyme. Sauté until the shallots are translucent and the mushrooms are cooked through and browned (around 5 minutes). Stir to make sure all of the mushrooms are getting some love!
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Mix in the Parmesan cheese and coconut milk. Add the dry seasonings – garlic powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Once everything in the cast iron skillet is cooked through, turn off the stovetop and add your egg mixture.
6. Place the cast iron skillet in the oven and bake at 425* F until the eggs are set and eggs in the middle aren’t runny (around 20-25 minutes).
7. Once done, top with excess Parmesan cheese and thyme! (I like my food spicy, so I usually top with another pinch of crushed red peppers and douse it with hot sauce! Tapatio is my go-to for brekkie.) Enjoy!
