Ingredients
  

  • 12 eggs
  • ¾ teaspoon coarse kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, halved and then thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
  • 3.5 to 4 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced
  • 1 cup packed chopped baby spinach, baby broccoli rabe, or baby kale (about 1.5 oz)
  • ¾ cup crumbled fresh goat cheese, about 3 oz
  • Minced fresh Italian parsley or whole thyme leaves

Instructions
 

  • Break the eggs into a large bowl. Add ¾ teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper and whisk to blend. Mix in 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the sage and then the shiitake. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until the mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute.
  • Add the remaining 1tablespoon oil to the skillet and then the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the goat cheese over the eggs. Cover and cook until the eggs are almost set but still moist in the center, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Parmesan cheese over the frittata. Broil until the eggs puff, the center is just springy to the touch, and the cheese begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Using a flexible rubber or silicone spatula, free the frittata around the edges. Slide onto a platter or leave in the pan. Sprinkle with the parsley or thyme and sere hot, warm, or at room temperature, cutting into wedges.
