Ingredients:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Adjust oven rack 6 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Beat eggs, water and salt and pepper with fork in bowl until thoroughly combined, do not over beat. Stir in chives.
Heat oil in 10 inch oven safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion and pinch of salt. Cover and cook until mushrooms have released their liquid, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally. About 10 minutes, so they become dry and lightly browned. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add egg mixture and move skillet so the eggs distribute evenly and begin to cook, without stirring, for about 30 seconds to let he bottom set.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until frittata has risen and surface is puffed and spotty brown, 3-4 minutes.
Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes. Carefully run spatula around skillet edge to loosen fritatta, then slide onto a platter. Cut and serve in wedges or to your liking. Serve warm or at room temperature.
