Ingredients

 Butter/Margarine2 Tablespoon
 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
 1/2 medium-size yellow onion, peeled and chopped
 Garlic1 Clove (5gm), peeled
 Mushrooms1/4 pound, thinly sliced
 1 cup chopped cooked spinach, zucchini, or broccoli
 4 eggs, lightly beaten
 Parmesan cheese3/4 Cup (16 tbs), grated
 Dried marjoram1/4 Teaspoon, crumbled
 Dried basil1 Teaspoon, crumbled
 Salt1/2 Teaspoon
 Black pepper1/4 Teaspoon

Directions

1. Preheat the broiler. Heat the butter and oil in a heavy 8-inch skillet over moderately high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the mushrooms and cook, tossing, for 1 minute, then add the spinach and cook, tossing, for 1 more minute.
2. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, marjoram, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour over the vegetables in the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook, uncovered, until the eggs are almost set—about 7 minutes.
3. Place the skillet (but not the handle) under the broiler about 3 inches from the heat. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the frittata is lightly browned. Gut into 4 wedges and serve.
