1 pound cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, sliced

6 egg whites

3 eggs

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 large cloves of garlic, minced

½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper

1 ½ teaspoons herbs de Provence

1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt

1 tablespoon water

Equipment:

frying pan

whisk

bowl

spatula

broiler

Cooking instruction summary:

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 8 minutes or until onions are soft. Add mushrooms and garlic, stirring occasionally. Mushrooms will release lots of liquid. Once this liquid starts to dry up, add chicken broth, salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. Simmer to reduce liquid until mushrooms glazed and liquid has thickened. Remove from heat & cool slightly.Whisk eggs, whites, and water in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add cooked mushrooms and combine well.Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a 10 or 12 inch skillet and heat on medium-high. (The smaller skillet produces a thicker frittata, which I prefer.) The skillet needs to be hot enough to evaporate a drop of water on contact. Pour eggs & mushrooms into the skillet and let it cook for about 30 seconds, or until the bottom layer is firm. Use a heat-proof rubber spatula to slide under the eggs and lift slightly. Tilt the skillet so that the uncooked eggs runs under the frittata. Repeat this process in several places.Turn the heat down to low and cover the eggs. Cook for 8 – 10 minutes until the eggs are nearly set.Place skillet with eggs under broiler for 2 – 4 minutes, until it’s puffed and slightly browned. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn. Slice like a pizza and serve.

Food Joke

A man gets married and shortly afterwards his wife dies. A friend tries to console him and asks, "What happened to your wife?" "She died of poison from eating mushrooms," said the husband. This man gets married a second time, and not long after the marriage, this second wife dies. The same friend tries to console the grieving husband and asks, "What happened to your second wife?" "She died of poison from eating mushrooms," was also the reply from the husband. This man takes a third wife and, not very long after the marriage, the third wife dies. The consoling friend asks, "What happened to your third wife? Was it mushroom poisoning?" The grieving husband responds, "No, she died of a broken neck." "A broken neck!" replies the friend. "Yes," says the husband, "she wouldn't eat her mushrooms."
