In a medium (10-inch/25 cm) frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, peppers, and onion; sauté until tender.

While the vegetables cook, whisk the eggs with the water. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the frying pan. Cover and cook over medium heat, occasionally poking through the mixture so uncooked egg can flow to the bottom of the pan.

When the bottom is cooked and the top is almost set, finish cooking the frittata on the stovetop by covering it with a lid for a few minutes, or flip it in the pan to cook the top, or cook the top under the broiler.

To flip the frittata, place a dinner plate over the pan and hold it firmly, then invert the frying pan and plate together. The frittata will drop onto the plate, top side down. Slide the frittata back into the frying pan, top side down, and cook for a few minutes until the top (now the bottom) is cooked.

Alternatively, place the frying pan under a preheated broiler until the top is cooked and slightly puffed, about a minute or two. The frying pan must be ovenproof to do this; to make the handle ovenproof, wrap it with a double layer of aluminum foil.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
