Soon enough you will get your fill of hard cooked eggs (Easter!), but today I want to invite you to join the frittata bandwagon.
If you haven’t ever tried a frittata at home, you surely must because this is the most versatile dish you can imagine — quick, easy and healthy for a breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack or even brinner (breakfast for dinner!).
It’s a quick bake of eggs or egg whites, flavored with aromatics and full of all sorts of vegetables, or maybe potatoes, or whatever you like. It’s not a fussy folded-over omelet, and not a messy scramble. It’s a baked Italian egg dish that can have a place at every American table.
For today’s recipe, I’m partnering with AllWhites Egg Whites [2] 100% liquid egg whites to show you a frittata recipe that can fuel your fitness goals and promote weight management as well as a healthy lifestyle. Of course, it does all this deliciously, because healthy food absolutely must taste fabulous. That’s a given, or no one will want to follow a healthy diet!
AllWhites® 100% egg whites comes in a refrigerated pourable carton, so it is super convenient to use as an alternative to regular eggs. It’s fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie, and a lean source of protein that can be used in any recipe that calls for eggs. For those of you following the Weight Watchers® program, it has 0 PointsPlus® value per serving.
Stirred into the egg whites are a couple of my favorite ingredients — beloved spinach, sweet tomatoes, a handful of shredded cheese and some important aromatics like garlic and leeks.
What emerges is a true rainbow on the plate. We ate this for dinner with a simple cucumber salad and congratulated ourselves on a fit and fabulous meal.
Join me, won’t you?
