Ingredients

  • tablespoons olive oil 
  • teaspoons garlic finely chopped
  • oz crimini mushrooms fresh sliced

  • tablespoons whipping cream 
  • 0.8 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper 
  • cup fontina shredded

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Set oven control to broil. In 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook garlic and mushrooms in oil 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender.
  2. Add Swiss chard; cook 2 minutes or until just wilted. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. In medium bowl, beat eggs, whipping cream, salt and pepper until well blended.
  4. Pour over mushroom mixture. Cook 8 to 9 minutes, without stirring, until eggs are set around edge and beginning to brown on bottom (egg mixture will be uncooked on top).
  5. Sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Broil frittata with top about 5 inches from heat about 4 minutes or until eggs are cooked on top and light golden brown. (Frittata will puff up during broiling but will collapse when removed from broiler.)
  7. Cut into squares.
