Ingredient Breakdown

1 cup of liquid egg whites or about 8 large eggs
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 cup of chopped bell peppers
1/2 cup of chopped spinach

1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms

Let’s Get Cooking!

Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you plan to bake your frittata. While that warms up, grab your veggies, you’ll want to wash and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces so they’re easy to eat and cook evenly.

Sauté the Veggies

Heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Now it’s time to add the onion first. Give them a few minutes 3-4 ought to do it, until they’re nice and soft, and oh-so-slightly translucent.

Then toss in your mushrooms and bell peppers. Stirring occasionally, cook these beauties for another 3-4 minutes until they’re tender and the smells… wow, they’ll start to fill your kitchen with all that deliciousness. Seriously, it smells amazing!

Add the Spinach

Next up, stir in the spinach, which cooks really fast and wilts down in about a minute. You’ll see it break down, just like that, adding so much nutrition!

Pour in the Egg Whites

Okay, here comes the fun part! Pour the egg whites evenly over the cooked veggies, and use a spatula to gently move things around so the egg fills all those little spaces.

Sprinkle in your salt and pepper, and if you’re going for the cheese, layer it on top now.

Cooking Time!

Let your frittata cook on the stovetop for about 2-3 minutes until you notice the edges start to set. Now, carefully take that skillet and pop it in the oven. Bake it for 10-15 minutes, or until the center is firm and no longer wobbly.

Once done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it up and enjoy a slice of healthy deliciousness!
