Mushroom Quinoa Frittata Recipes

QUINOA-MUSHROOM FRITTATA WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the quinoa, Parmesan, herbs, pepper, green onions or garlic scapes, and mushrooms.
• Coat a medium, ovenproof skillet with a thick layer of olive oil. Place over medium high heat, add the egg mixture, and sprinkle with the olives. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring.
• Preheat the broiler with the rack in the second position from the top. Broil the frittata until the top is lightly browned and the eggs have firmed up in the center, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes. Loosen the edges with a spatula and cut into 6 wedges. Serve immediately.

VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH QUINOA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat stock in a saucepan over medium heat to boiling. Add parsnips and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until al dente. Remove parsnips from stock with a slotted spoon and put in large bowl. Reserve stock; it will be used to cook other frittata ingredients.
• Add cauliflower to heated stock and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until al dente. Remove cauliflower and add to bowl with parsnips.
• Add zucchini to stock and cook about 1 minute, then remove and add to vegetables in bowl.
• Add quinoa to simmering stock, bring to a boil and cook about 5 minutes, or until al dente. Remove the quinoa from the stock and add to vegetables in bowl. (The broth, enriched with flavor and vitamins from the vegetables, can be stored and re-used.)
• Add diced tomato, herbs and Roquefort to the cooked vegetables and quinoa. Mix until the cheese combines completely with the other ingredients.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork until whites and yolks are mixed. Add the eggs to the vegetable mixture and stir gently.
• Rub 1 teaspoon butter on the bottom of a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof fry pan (or coat with nonstick spray). Heat the pan on the stovetop on medium until the butter is frothy, lower the temperature to medium-low and add the frittata mixture. Cook for a few minutes, then finish in the oven until done to your taste. (Leaving them slightly runny makes for a velvety texture.)
• Flip onto a plate by holding the plate upside down on top of the pan and flipping pan and plate together. You can brush the top of the frittata with melted butter and serve with toast.

QUINOA WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa to the melted butter and let it brown, about 3 minutes. Pour the chicken broth over the quinoa; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes. Stir in the sauteed mushroom mixture and cook another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

QUICK AND EASY CHEESY MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic salt; cook until onion is translucent and mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes.
• While the mushrooms are cooking, beat eggs and half-and-half in a bowl with an electric mixer for 1 minute on low speed. Stir in Cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, parsley, seasoning blend, salt, and pepper.
• Remove mushroom-onion mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Add to egg mixture and mix until combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until middle of the frittata is firm, about 30 minutes.
