Mushroom & Wild Rice Frittata

A lot of my recipes on here are usually pretty simple and easy to make. I'll admit this one does take a little more time and needs quite a few ingredients too. But in the end it is well worth it. It's packed full of veggies and tons of different flavors. It also makes enough for 6 people which is a lot if you think about it. Even though it will take some time I'm sure you will enjoy it.

• Wild Rice
• 2 cups water 
• 1/2 cup wild rice (see Note), rinsed 
• 1/8 teaspoon salt 

• Frittata 
• 5 large eggs
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup chopped red onion
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried

Makes: 6 Servings
Active Time: 45 Minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour  

Directions:

1. To prepare wild rice: Combine water, rice and salt in a small heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the rice is tender with a slight bite, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain; you’ll have about 1 1/2 cups cooked rice. 
2. To prepare frittata: About 30 minutes after you start cooking the rice, beat eggs and egg whites in a large bowl with parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and nutmeg. 
3. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. 
4. Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat. Add onion and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in rosemary, then add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until they release their liquid and the pan is dry, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in the rice. 
5. Pour the reserved egg mixture evenly over the rice and vegetables. Partially cover and cook until set around the edges, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and prosciutto. Place the pan under broiler and broil until the eggs are set and the top is nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
