Veggie Frittata

Make a reduced-fat vegetarian frittata by replacing some of the whole eggs with egg whites, using reduced-fat cheese and fat-free milk, and stirring fresh vegetables into the egg mixture.  It's a great meatless dish for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.

  • 1/2 (8-oz.) container sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Garnishes: black pepper, chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

1. Sauté onion and mushrooms in hot oil in an ovenproof nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until tender. Stir in spinach, and sauté 3 minutes or until water evaporates and spinach wilts. Remove from heat, and set aside.

2. Whisk together 4 large eggs, 6 egg whites, Cheddar cheese, and next 5 ingredients.
