Melt butter in a medium (10-inch/25 cm) frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, peppers, and onion; sauté until tender.
- 2
While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together eggs and water. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the frying pan. Cover and cook over medium heat, occasionally poking through the mixture to allow uncooked egg to flow to the bottom of the pan.
- 3
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, flipping it over in the pan to cook the top, or cooking the top under the broiler.
- 4
To flip the frittata, place a dinner plate over the pan and hold it firmly in place, then turn the frying pan and plate upside down. The frittata will fall onto the plate, top side down. Slide the frittata back into the frying pan, top down. Cook for a few minutes until the top, now the bottom, is cooked.
- 5
Alternatively, place the frying pan under a preheated broiler until the top is cooked and slightly puffed, for a minute or two. The frying pan must be ovenproof for this. To make the handle ovenproof, wrap it with a double thickness of aluminum foil.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
