  3. Break two eggs into a bowl and whisk.
  4. Add the eggs to the vegetables in the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Place the pan under the grill for a further 10 minutes or until the eggs are cooked.
  6. Serve the frittata and enjoy!

Tips for Carrot and Mushroom Frittata

  • A finished frittata should look set across the center, with no glossy, liquid egg; the top may be lightly browned.
  • Use a small oven-safe pan so the egg mixture stays thick enough to slice neatly; check that its handle is safe under the grill.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before serving so the slices hold together rather than breaking apart.

Drink pairing

a dry rosé
Its fresh, crisp character complements the savory eggs and earthy mushrooms without overwhelming the mild carrot.

0% option: sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot before serving.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the frittata is cooked through?

The center should look set rather than wet or shiny, and the frittata should feel firm when gently pressed.

Can I make this ahead?

It is best freshly made, but you can cook it ahead and refrigerate it promptly; reheat leftovers until steaming hot.

What can I serve with it?

Serve with a crisp green salad or toasted bread for a simple lunch or dinner.
