Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider sautéing the onions and mushrooms before adding them to the frittata. If you're out of egg whites, you can use whole eggs, but adjust the quantity to avoid excess liquid. For a vegetarian twist, try adding spinach or bell peppers. Pair with a side salad for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the frittata warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan. It makes an ideal brunch dish alongside a light salad, such as Pineapple Pimento Salad. You can also pair it with crusty bread or roasted vegetables for a more filling meal.
Storage & Reheating
