A light, fluffy, and vibrant egg white frittata packed with fresh veggies, perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large egg whites (about 240 ml)
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced (red or yellow preferred)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • ¼ cup low-fat feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your veggies: wash and dice the bell pepper, chop the spinach, finely chop the red onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. Whisk the egg whites with salt, pepper, and dried oregano until just frothy; do not overbeat.
  3. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the onion and cook until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add bell peppers and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  6. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Pour the whisked egg whites evenly over the sautéed veggies, tilt pan to spread if needed, then lower heat to medium-low.
  8. Cook gently for 7-10 minutes until edges set and center is slightly runny. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes to set and brown the top or cover with a lid to steam.
  9. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the frittata just before finishing cooking and allow to soften.
  10. Check doneness, loosen edges with a spatula, and serve warm.

Notes

Cook the frittata slowly on medium-low heat to keep it tender and fluffy. Avoid overbeating the egg whites to prevent dryness. Use a lid or broiler to gently cook the top. Customize with seasonal veggies or add cheese/herbs as desired. For dairy-free, omit feta or use plant-based cheese.
