1 1/2 cups egg whites, store-bought liquid egg whites or from about 12 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium green onions, sliced, white and light green separated from dark green
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 cups packed coarsely chopped spinach leaves
4 to 6 grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
Marinara sauce, pizza sauce, or salsa, for optional serving
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
-
Combine the egg whites with half of the Parmesan cheese and the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk until blended, but do not overbeat. Set aside.
-
Melt the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the white and light green sliced green onions and bell pepper and sauté until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add the spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook just until the egg whites begin to look set around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Arrange the sliced grape tomatoes over the top and sprinkle with the dark green sliced green onions and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
-
Transfer the frittata to the oven and continue to cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until set. To brown the top more, turn the broiler on high and let it cook for about 1 minute longer.
-
Serve the egg white frittata with marinara sauce, pizza sauce, or salsa on the side, or garnish as desired.
Tips
- An oven-safe nonstick skillet is essential for a frittata. If you use cast iron, make sure it is well-seasoned. Eggs will likely stick to plain stainless steel unless you add an extra tablespoon or two of butter or oil—make sure the oil is hot when you add the eggs.
- When it comes to cheese, don't skimp. The cheese adds protein, flavor, and aids in browning.
- Toppings and garnishes give an egg white frittata pizzazz! Serve your frittata with a few choices, such as marinara sauce, guacamole, sliced avocado, chopped green onions, tomato salsa, salsa verde, sour cream, chives, or fresh chopped parsley or cilantro.
