ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons minced shallots
3 cups shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced thin
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons fresh savory, minced
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
10 large eggs
1 cup Fontina cheese, shredded (about 3 ounces)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
In a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
Add shallots, and cook about 2 minutes, until they just start to soften.
Add mushrooms, savory, half of the salt and pepper; stir often, until mushrooms release juices- about 5 or 6 minutes.
In bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.
Stir in cheese and remaining salt and pepper.
Pour eggs over mushroom in skillet, tilting pan to spread evenly.
Cook without disturbing until about 1/4 inch around the outer edge is set.
With a spatula, lift some of the egg mixture from the sides of the pan, tipping pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the bottom.
Place skillet in oven, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
(It's usually sometime between there, so aim for about 18 minutes just to be safe.) Invert frittata onto a large serving plate, cut into wedges, and serve warm.

Behold, the worst picture of me ever taken, I think. I'm in distress over the paint color that you see behind me, and am suffering from brain scramble after looking at too many potential paint colors over a very short amount of time. However, it's one of those "me, now" pics that amuse me, so I figured I'd share. Onward... Hi there! Self description always throws me, but I'll try: I'm a hyper, writing, Yoga-practicing, fashion-loving, almost-constantly-reading, very Type A, highly domestic ovo-lacto vegetarian who is obsessed with Nutella and has a very personable German Shepherd/Husky mix named Totsi. I think that just about covers it. Sometimes, everyone needs a little Totsi, so here she "bee": <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a44/gokittengo/almostdone.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
