This Mushrooms and Spinach Egg Skillet is an updated version of a recipe I made many years ago. It’s a tasty combination of mushrooms and spinach with eggs and plenty of cheese, and when I updated the photos I couldn’t resist using a slightly bigger pan for more servings. Because if you’re going to go to the trouble to make a tasty egg dish like this, you probably wouldn’t mind being able to reheat it for breakfast for a couple of days, right?

The original recipe for this used a smaller frying pan and was called a frittata and you can see the printer-friendly version of that recipe if you were a fan. This new version is definitely more of an egg skillet, and I’m adding it to the category for Skillet Meals

I used two full cups of grated Mozzarella in this recipe for lots of cheesy flavor, but you can certainly use less cheese if you prefer. And if you like the sound of mushrooms and spinach with eggs, this is a delicious and easy meatless dish that would be good any time of day. And hope you enjoy trying this if you’re a mushroom lover!

Mushrooms and Spinach Egg Skillet is a great meatless dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (see notes)
  • 1 T + 1 tsp. olive oil (will depend on the pan)
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 5 oz. package baby spinach leaves
  • 12 eggs

  • 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. I used a large non-stick skillet that was 12 inches across and about 3 inches deep for this recipe.
  2. Heat 1 T olive oil and then saute brown Cremini mushrooms for about 5 minutes. 
  3. While mushrooms cook, beat eggs until the whites and yolks are well-combined.
  4. Measure out 2 cups of grated Mozzarella (or the amount you prefer.)
  5. When mushrooms are softened and lightly browned, add another tsp. oil with green onions and then spinach and cook a couple of minutes.
  6. Then add eggs, using a turner to separate the veggies so eggs run down to the bottom of the pan.
  7. Add about half the cheese and stir into the eggs. 
  8. Then cook with a lid on for about 4 minutes, or until eggs are set but still soft.
  9. Top with the rest of the cheese, serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

I buy the pre-sliced Cremini mushrooms for this recipe. If you’re slicing your own, don’t make slices too thin.

You can make this on the weekend, cut into eight wedges, and store in the fridge, then reheat for breakfast. (Be careful not to microwave too long or the eggs will turn rubbery.)
