A savory and nutritious autumn frittata featuring roasted pumpkin, earthy mushrooms, and fresh spinach.

  • Total Time: PT50M
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups pumpkin, peeled and cubed (1/2 inch)
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1.5 cups Cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed pumpkin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender. Lower oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Add the red onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the roasted pumpkin and fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir gently until the spinach just begins to wilt.
Step 5: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet over the vegetables.
Step 6: Sprinkle the feta cheese (if using) evenly over the top. Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges are beginning to set.
Step 7: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Step 8: Let the pumpkin mushroom and spinach frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

Ensure the vegetables are not overly watery before adding the eggs to prevent a soggy frittata. You can substitute butternut squash for pumpkin if needed.
