This Hamburger Onion Mushroom FrittataRecipe makes such a satisfying and tasty meal. It’s an excellent low carb choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner that can be made in under 30minutes.
Over the holidays we were blessed with another iron skillet, one from my grandmother that my mother was passing along to me. The best kind of gift ever! It’s a square-ish skillet about 9-inches across. We’ve used it a bit. We can never seem to store our iron skillets and pans for any length of time before they are called upon again so usually you’ll find them stove top. A couple of weeks ago, Randy found the perfect dish for the new-to-us square skillet: aHamburger Onion Mushroom FrittataRecipe (or omelet, if you fold it over). Oh my.
We’ve been trying to cut back on carbs. It’s hard, man. When trying to eat low carb or gluten free, the frittata or omelet is your tasty friend. And they don’t get much better than this combo, I assure you. A hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner, full of flavor, short on carbs, that can be made in about 20 minutes? Yep, it doesn’t get much better than that.
I don’t know if this recipe is truly classified asan omelet or a frittata. Honestly, I really don’t care. It could be considered a mix of both and depending on your preparation and/or serving presentation, it could go either way. Randy prepares this likea frittata, but serves it as an omelet, folding it over as he removes it from the pan.Maybe a Fromelet? Or Omelittata? Call it whatever you like. I call it good.

Love the square skillet, but what’s inside even more. Gorgeous frittata. Or omelet. (Heck, I don’t care either.) I just want it.

I make frittata frequently. Love to Carmelize onions first. If you’re adding potatoes, cook in microwave just enough to start to soften them. …a few minutes. Slice them and add to pan. ( 12″) add mushrooms, other veggies, cooked bacon pieces, or left over cooked chicken, etc. Stir, add seasonings. Beat 8 eggs, add several kinds of cheeses, pour into pan. Low med.heat and gently loosen edges with spatula for sever minutes. Put in oven ( I use broil) watch it till it JUST starts to turn light brown. Take out and let sit. Enjoy ! You can add any kind of meat ( cooked) or veggies you like. Cut into pie shapes, serve.

I made this for Sunday brunch for my boyfriend and I and all I can say is wow. Nice and filling and didn’t take much time to put together. I did add some wilted spinach to the recipe as well as some crushed red pepper flakes as we like a little spice. Just delicious and can’t wait to make it again to experiment with other flavor profiles. Thanks!

I plugged this into a calorie and carb counter. This is without mushrooms but I believe they are a freebie in carbs anyway, but they will not be a big difference.
