Preheat your oven to 375°F. Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, allowing the oil to warm and reach its optimal temperature for cooking. The sizzling skillet is now a vibrant tapestry of colors as I add the diced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté until slightly softened.

Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of flair, then stir in the vibrant colours of chopped spinach and juicy tomatoes. Cook until the spinach wilts.

Gently reduce the heat to a low simmer and distribute the egg whites uniformly across the vegetables. Add a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese to the top for a burst of salty flavor.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the mixture has firmed up. Allowing it to temper slightly, finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, portion into slices, and present with confidence.

Brittany’s Tips!

A cast-iron skillet is ideal for achieving a consistently even cook. To ensure a smooth process, make certain that your equipment is well-seasoned and lightly greased to prevent any sticking or hindrance.
As a gentle touch of seasoning is added during the cooking process, the subtle nuances of salt and pepper meld harmoniously with the sautéed vegetables, while an additional flourish with the egg whites elevates the dish by expertly layering its flavours. Savor the flavor of life – don’t put off living until later.

Since this frittata is lower in calories I usually serve it alongside turkey bacon, breakfast sausage or this PB&J protein yogurt bowl for an added protein boost, but the possibilities are endless! Enjoy as a snack with your favorite dip, perhaps a tangy hummus or creamy guacamole? Alternatively, serve alongside a crisp salad for a refreshing and satisfying meal.
