Galbani® Italian Scallion Frittata

INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp. Butter, divided
1 tbsp. Olive oil, plus enough to coat baking dish
⅓ cup Scallions, sliced coarsely
¾ cup Shiitake mushrooms, chopped roughly
8 Large eggs, beaten
½ cup Milk
½ cup Galbani Parmesan, freshly grated
¾ cup Galbani Premio Mozzarella, shredded
2 Egg whites, whipped
  Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  Fresh chopped parsley for garnish  
   

METHOD

  1. Heat a medium-size sauté pan over medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp. butter and olive oil and heat until butter foams.
     
  2. Add scallions and mushrooms and sauté until soft, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat to allow the vegetables to cool slightly.
     
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the beaten eggs, milk, Parmesan, and Mozzarella until well incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
     
  4. Stir sauteed scallions and mushrooms into the frittata mixture. Then, carefully fold in whipped egg whites. Do not overmix.
     
  5. Heat a 14-inch nonstick pan over medium heat, and add the remaining butter. Once the pan is hot and the butter is foaming, add the frittata mixture, but do not stir. Turn heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and continue to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until frittata is firm.
     
  6. To serve, garnish the frittata with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
