Spinach & Egg White Frittata


I have mentioned before that I'm not a big breakfast person, and when I do make breakfast it is usually pancakes and bacon for K. Well, I decided to try something a little more healthy for a change and this frittata from The Novice Chef seemed like the perfect place to start!

I am always a little hesitant to cook with only egg whites, because they can lack in flavor at times, but this dish turned out pretty tasty! I used goat cheese instead of feta and I'm not sure if that was my best substitution as the goat cheese is a little pungent, but it was still good!!


Spinach & Egg White Frittata

Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 very full cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons fat free milk
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 9 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add spinach, cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, milk, salt and pepper to taste. Then carefully stir in green onions, cherry tomatoes, and the spinach mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture into your pre-greased dish. Sprinkle goat cheese along the top and add a little sprinkle of salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until center is set . Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then serve.
