I don't like mushrooms and even if you picked them out, the flavor was all over the eggs. But my family likes mushrooms and they thought this was pretty good.
Even my kids who typically refuse to eat mushrooms and spinach snarfed this down. We used buttered brioche buns and it was delish!
I would make my own sweet potato fries next time,, but the eggs were delicious. I considered adding some ham leftover from split pea soup, but ended up forgetting.
We ended up making this for Sunday breakfast. Did a deconstructed version for the non-mushroom and non-spinach eaters in our family. I enjoyed it!
We normally love frittatas - but this one fell flat - I think there might might have been too much stuff in it relative to egg - lacked the fluffiness factor. Sweet potatoes, as always, were great.
