Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 cup diced red onions
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray
Equipment:
- Oven-safe non-stick skillet
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
Instructions:
Preparing the Oven:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Sautéing the Vegetables:
- Heat the Skillet: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté Onions and Peppers: Add the diced red onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add Mushrooms and Spinach: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and fresh spinach leaves. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender, and the spinach wilts. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Whipping the Egg Whites:
- Prepare the Egg Whites: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until frothy.
- Add Seasoning: Season the egg white mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Assembling and Baking:
- Evenly Distribute Tomatoes: Sprinkle the diced tomatoes evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
- Pour Egg White Mixture: Slowly pour the seasoned egg white mixture over the vegetables.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Baking Time: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden.
- Broil (Optional): If you desire a more golden top, you can briefly broil the frittata for 1-2 minutes, but watch it closely to prevent burning.
Serving:
- Let It Rest: Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the frittata into wedges and serve. It’s delicious on its own or with a side salad.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet for easy removal and to avoid sticking.
- Customize your frittata by adding your favorite veggies or herbs.
- For extra protein, you can add diced cooked chicken, turkey, or smoked salmon.
