Steps
- 1Heat up the broiler with the rack positioned second from the top.
- 2Begin by combining eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, a dash of pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk the mixture until everything is well blended.
- 31. Heat the butter in a 12-inch/30.5-cm oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until it melts. Once the butter is hot, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the potatoes start to soften, which should take around 3 minutes. Incorporate the green onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and another dash of salt and pepper into the skillet. Cook while stirring until the mushrooms release their liquid and become dry, approximately 4 minutes. Introduce the peas to the mixture and continue cooking until all vegetables are tender, and peas are heated through for about 1-2 minutes more. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if necessary before spreading out the filling evenly in the pan. Finally, sprinkle cheese on top of the filling before proceeding further.
