Ingredients
  

  • 8 large egg whites
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 cup baby spinach fresh, torn into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup fat-free feta cheese
  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Kosher or sea salt to taste

Equipment

  • Oven-safe skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your frittata cooks evenly.
  2. Step 2: Whisk the Eggs - In a mixing bowl, combine the 8 egg whites and 1 whole egg. Whisk them together until fully blended and slightly frothy.
  3. Step 3: Add Seasonings and Ingredients - Stir in the black pepper and salt to taste. Fold in the torn baby spinach, diced sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Step 4: Heat the Skillet - Place your oven-safe skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with a non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
  5. Step 5: Cook the Frittata Base - Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on the stove.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the Oven - Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Serve - Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap baby spinach for kale, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Consider using goat cheese or low-fat mozzarella for different flavors.
  • Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley for extra flavor.
  • For additional protein, add cooked chicken or turkey sausage.
