Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers, sautéing until they are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Add Egg Whites

Pour the egg whites over the sautéed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, then gently stir to combine. Cook on the stovetop for about 2 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Bake the Frittata

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.

Serve

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Enjoy your healthy and delicious frittata!

Tips for Perfecting Your Frittata

To achieve the perfect texture in your frittata, avoid overcooking the egg whites. They should be just set, creating a fluffy and light dish. Keep a close eye on the frittata as it bakes, as oven temperatures can vary. If you're uncertain, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when it’s done, ensuring that your frittata is cooked through without being dry.

Using an oven-safe skillet is essential for this recipe. Cast iron or non-stick pans work wonderfully, allowing for easy transfer from stovetop to oven. Additionally, if you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can prepare the vegetables in a regular pan and transfer the mixture to a baking dish before adding the egg whites.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

If you have leftovers, storing them properly can help maintain the frittata's texture and flavor. Allow the frittata to cool completely before slicing it into portions. Place the slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. This makes it convenient for quick breakfasts or snacks throughout the week.

When reheating, consider using a microwave for quick warming or an oven to restore the frittata's original texture. If using a microwave, heat in short intervals to avoid overcooking. For oven reheating, wrap the frittata in foil and bake at a low temperature until warmed through. This way, you can enjoy the delightful flavors of your Veggie Egg White Frittata even a few days later!
