Egg White Frittata with Mushrooms & Zucchini
After weeks of indulging on egg sandwiches from the deli for breakfast, I decided to make something a little healthier this past weekend. This was my first time making a frittata, I was so happy with how it came out, I will definitely be making this recipe more often. It is easy to substitute any veggies you have on hand. Don’t be afraid to get creative.
1 ¼ cups egg white
1 cup white mushrooms, sliced
1 sm zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced thin
¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat oil over medium heat in a medium sized, oven safe, skillet. Add mushrooms and sauté for 3 minutes or until mushrooms begin to brown.
Add zucchini and sauté for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Beat the egg whites well. Add egg whites and cook until the edges begin to firm up, but the center is still raw.
Move the pan into the oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until egg whites are cooked through.
Top with green onions and cheese and bake for another two minutes to melt the cheese.
Serves 2-3
I love frittatas! We make a "pizza" one that's always a hit =) This sounds pretty tasty too!
that sounds great! I'd love to try your pizza version…do you have a recipe?
Yummy…sounds like a great healthy breakfast!
Ingenious recipe, and it looks really inviting
p.s. You know what…this is really strange: to be able to buy only whites or yokes – really? why not buy the whole egg and eat it as it is? hm…
How awesome that you used egg whites!
Mmmm I love frittatas! They're a great vegetarian meal. Plus, this sounds healthy! Can't go wrong there
