Eggwhite Frittata

If I’m going to make breakfast, it’s going to be something hearty and protein-packed.

As much as I love my sweet and baked goods, breakfast and brunch is reserved for savory breakfast recipes in my book. There’s something about a warm, filling breakfast that will keep you satisfied and not leave you hungry.

This healthy egg white recipe is just that. And if you’re looking to use whole eggs instead, I’ll show you how to do that as well.

What kind of dairy do I use in a frittata?

Fattier milk products like heavy cream, sour cream, and half and half are perfect for this recipe. Low fat milk and plant-based milk products are too watery for a frittata recipe and will leave you with a soupy mess.

What kind of veggies should I use in my frittata?

Frittatas are one of those kitchen sink kind of meals. You can use all sorts of veggies and leftovers for the base of your frittata. Whatever you use, just make sure it end up being about 3 cups of cooked veggies before adding in the eggs. If you add your eggs to raw vegetables, they will release too much water and your frittata will be runny.

What kind of cheese should I use in my frittata?

Don't be limited to just cheddar! Pepper jack, Parmesan, and even goat cheese can give you some great creamy textures and added flavors.

Egg White Frittata

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 red bell pepper (diced)
• 6 ounces Canadian bacon (diced)
• 5 ounces baby spinach (roughly chopped)
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 2 ½ cups egg whites (or 12 whole eggs)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tbsp green onions (sliced thinly)

1. Preheat your oven to 425°.

2. Place a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan gets hot, put the butter in the pan.
3. Add the spinach, red bell pepper, and Canadian bacon to the pan. Give it a stir.
4. While the veggie mixture is cooking, get out a second bowl. In this bowl, combine the heavy cream, egg whites, and salt. Whisk until frothy. Add the cheese.
5. Once the veggies are soft, add the egg mixture to the pan and stir. Let it sit for about one minute or until the outside edges of the eggs start to turn white.

6. Put the whole pan in the oven for 10-15 minutes (or until the frittata is mostly firm with a little bit of jiggle still in the middle).

7. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
