2 slices of smoked Gouda cheese, diced (I got mine from Trader Joe’s)
½ cup frozen roasted corn (I got mine from Trader Joe’s)
1 medium on-the-vine tomato (or ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved)
2-inch long Chinese stem lettuce (diced) (莴苣 )
4 large button mushrooms, sliced
½ piece fully cooked Italian chicken sausage (or any of your favorite sausage), sliced (I got mine from Trader Joe’s)
1 shallot, sliced
1 leaf of cabbage (卷心菜), sliced
1 cup spinach (loosely packed) (pat-dry)
Cooking Method:
•Heat cast-iron skillet to hot, add in 1 cup sliced button mushrooms, sautéed (no oil) for 3-5 minutes until browned and sizzling, transfer to a container;
•Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan, medium heat, sauté Italian chicken sausage until browned both sides, transfer to the mushroom container;
•Add in shallot slices to the skillet, low to medium heat, sauté until browned; add in cabbage, sauté until wilt; add in spinach, sauté until wilt; transfer to the container;
•Whisk together eggs and salt in a bowl; add cream, gouda cheese, stir to combine. Stir in frozen corns, diced tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms/shallot/cabbage/spinach;
•Melt butter in the cast-iron skillet, spread butter to oil the side as well; pour into the egg mixture;
•Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven until cooked through – about 12-14 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes:
•How to clean mushroom: use a damp paper towel or a soft mushroom brush to wipe each mushroom, one at a time, to remove any dirt. Better not to wash with water;
•For a large frittata, add more minutes until all cooked through.
•Optional: dust 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese over the frittatas before baking for more depth of flavors.
•Some other optional ingredients to add or replace: frozen peas, sliced onion, etc.
•Some other cheeses to replace Gouda cheese :shredded three-cheese blend, for example.
