Mushroom And Smoked Salmon Frittata
For an easy way to start off a meal for up to a dozen dinner guests, consider this mushroom and smoked salmon frittata.

All you'd have to do is substitute 3/4 cup shredded swiss or herbed cream cheese for the smoked salmon. Yields 6-12 servings when served as an appetizer.

- 1 tablespoon light butter
- 8 ounces white button or crimini
mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
