Ingredients:
- 8 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup feta or shredded mozzarella (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil), for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes, then stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Prepare the egg whites: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg whites over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Add toppings: Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle cheese (if using) over the top of the egg white mixture.
- Cook the frittata: Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top.
- Serve: Remove the frittata from the oven, allow it to cool for a minute, and then garnish with fresh herbs. Slice into wedges and serve.
