Ingredients

Frittata Ingredients

  • 6 large egg whites
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Serving

  • 2 slices whole-grain toast

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook gently for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
  3. Pour Egg Whites: Pour the egg whites evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and let it cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes over medium-low heat until the edges start to set.
  4. Add Feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the partially set egg whites.
  5. Cook Frittata: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and cooked through. Alternatively, place the skillet under a broiler for 2-3 minutes to finish cooking and lightly brown the top, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Serve: Slide the frittata onto a plate, cut into portions, and serve immediately with slices of whole-grain toast.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms for more variety.
  • Using egg whites keeps this dish light and lower in cholesterol.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of herbs like oregano or basil.
  • If you don’t have a lid for your skillet, carefully use foil or finish under the broiler as described.
  • Pair with fresh fruit or a light fruit salad for a complete breakfast.
