Ingredients for Mushroom Spinach Frittata Squares

Here’s the beautiful simplicity of this recipe – just 8 basic ingredients that come together like magic. I like to line everything up on the counter before I start (just like my grandma taught me). You’ll need:

8 large eggs – fresh ones make all the difference in flavor and texture
1 cup milk – whole milk gives the creamiest results, but any kind works
1 cup chopped spinach – I use baby spinach and give it a rough chop
1 cup sliced mushrooms – cremini are my favorite, but buttons work great too
1/2 cup shredded cheese – cheddar is classic, but I sometimes use Swiss or Gruyère
1/4 teaspoon salt – trust me, you’ll want this for balance
1/4 teaspoon black pepper – freshly ground if you’ve got it
1 tablespoon olive oil – for that perfect golden crust

See? Nothing fancy – just real food that makes real good breakfasts. Now let’s get cooking!

How to Make Mushroom Spinach Frittata Squares

Okay, let’s get cooking! I promise this is easier than it looks – just follow these simple steps and you’ll have perfect frittata squares in no time. The key is taking it one step at a time and not rushing the process (though I know how tempting it is when you’re hungry!).

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

First things first – wash those mushrooms and spinach well (nothing worse than gritty frittata!). I like to slice the mushrooms about 1/4-inch thick – not too thin or they’ll disappear, not too thick or they won’t cook through. For the spinach, just give it a rough chop so the pieces are bite-sized.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

Heat your oven-safe skillet (this is crucial!) over medium heat with that olive oil. Add the mushrooms and let them work their magic – you’ll know they’re ready when they’ve released their liquid and turned golden brown, about 5 minutes. Then toss in the spinach and watch it wilt down in about 2 minutes flat – it’s like magic!

Step 3: Bake the Frittata

Here comes the fun part! Pour your whisked egg mixture over the veggies (it should cover everything nicely), sprinkle that cheese on top, and carefully transfer the whole skillet to the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes – you’ll know it’s done when the center is just set and doesn’t jiggle when you shake the pan. Pro tip: if you’re unsure, poke a knife in the center – it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.

Tips for Perfect Mushroom Spinach Frittata Squares

Want to make sure your frittata squares turn out absolutely perfect every time? Here are my tried-and-true tips:

Don’t overcook: Take it out of the oven when the center is just set – it’ll keep cooking as it cools.
Cheese swap: Not a cheddar fan? Try feta for a tangy twist or mozzarella for extra gooeyness.
Oven-safe skillet: If you don’t have one, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish before baking.
Let it rest: Wait 5 minutes before slicing – it’ll hold together beautifully.
Golden top: For extra browning, broil for the last 1-2 minutes (but watch it like a hawk!).

Follow these tips, and you’ll be a frittata pro in no time!

Variations for Mushroom Spinach Frittata Squares

Oh, the possibilities! Once you’ve mastered the basic recipe, try these fun twists:

Mediterranean: Swap mushrooms for roasted red peppers and use feta instead of cheddar
Italian: Add sun-dried tomatoes and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning
Southwest: Toss in some black beans and diced jalapeños for kick
Protein boost: Mix in cooked sausage or bacon crumbles

My favorite? A handful of fresh herbs like basil or dill – they brighten up the whole dish!

Serving Suggestions

These frittata squares shine all on their own, but oh boy do they love company! I love pairing them with fresh fruit like berries or melon for a bright contrast. A slice of whole grain toast with jam makes it feel extra special. For brunch with friends, add a simple green salad – the crispness plays perfectly against the creamy frittata. And don’t forget the hot sauce for those who like a little kick!

Storage & Reheating

Here’s the best way to keep your frittata squares fresh and delicious for days. The key is airtight containers in the refrigerator. I like to use an airtight container for 3 days. If you need to freeze them, freezer-safe bags are my go-to freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating

Here’s the best way to heat up your fritt cubes that you should try:

Microwave: It’s easy to use the microwave in a microwave safe bowl with a paper towel in the fridge and cook for 5 minutes. Use a microwave safe bowl with a paper towel in the fridge and cook for 7 minutes.
Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (190°C) and heat up the fritt cubes for 15 minutes.
Stovetop: For a crispy crust, use a skillet over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.

Reheating

What if you want to use the oven instead of the microwave? Preheat your oven to 350°F (190°C) and heat up the fritt cubes for 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the center is set.

FAQ About Mushroom Spinach Frittata Squares

I get asked about these frittata squares ALL the time – here are the answers to the most common questions:

Can I freeze mushroom spinach frittata squares?
Absolutely! Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then pop them in a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

What’s the best cheese to use?
Honestly? Whatever you’ve got! I love sharp cheddar for its tang, but Swiss, Gruyère, or even goat cheese work beautifully. The cheese just needs to melt well.

How do I know when it’s done baking?
The edges should be golden and the center just set – no jiggling! If you’re unsure, poke a knife in the center. It should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Sure thing! Swap the milk for almond milk and use your favorite dairy-free cheese. The texture changes slightly, but it’s still delicious.

Why use an oven-safe skillet?
That magical transition from stovetop to oven gives you perfect browning on the bottom while cooking evenly throughout. No oven-safe pan? No problem – just transfer to a greased baking dish before baking.

I hope these mushroom spinach frittata squares become your new breakfast obsession! If you try them, let me know how they turned out – I’d love to hear your thoughts. Happy cooking!
