MUSHROOM & GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA
1 - 8oz. package of mushrooms (I used baby bellas)
1 1/2 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme)
4 eggs
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
Preheat broiler. Clean* and slice the mushrooms. Heat an ovenproof skillet (I use an iron skillet) over medium-high heat with non-stick cook spray (or use a small pat of butter or drizzle of olive oil). Saute mushrooms until lightly browned - about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and put mushrooms in a bowl.

Combine eggs, goat cheese, thyme, pepper, salt, and mushrooms in a medium bowl with a whisk. Spray skillet again and place over medium heat. Add egg & mushroom mixture.

Cover and cook for 3 minutes or until almost set. Remove from heat and place under broiler for another 3 minutes or until completely cooked and golden on top. Cut into wedges.
Serves 2-3

*Do not run mushrooms under water to clean, they will retain the water and become woody. Instead, gently wipe clean with a damp towel or paper towel.

I would have especially enjoyed some shallots in this version and if not making it vegetarian, a little bacon. Enjoy!
I really love goat cheese it is really delicous. Most of the time I eat it as a dessert or use it to make a salsa.
