- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a 12-inch (30 cm) ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; add mushrooms. Cook 2 minutes; stir. Cook 3 more minutes, stirring halfway through or until mushrooms are golden-brown. Set aside a couple of mushrooms for garnish.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper until smooth. Whisk in half of the cheese; set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add spinach and cook, stirring until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture over top; stir gently. Top with tomatoes, cut side facing up, remaining cheese and reserved mushrooms. Cook 2 minutes or until there are several bubbling spots in egg mixture.
- Bake 5 minutes. Turn on broiler; broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until set. Remove from oven. Let stand 5 minutes.
Frittatas are an ideal way to use up various ingredients and leftovers in your fridge. This helps minimize food waste, which is key to reducing your diet’s environmental impact. This frittata works perfectly with slightly wilted spinach, mixed bits of cheese and those random mushrooms languishing at the bottom of your crisper.
