Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 egg whites ($2.00)
  • Salt and pepper to taste ($0.10)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms) ($2.00)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced ($0.15)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil ($0.25)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled ($1.00)
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like basil or parsley ($0.50)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the frittata.
  2. Whisk Egg Whites: In a bowl, vigorously whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and the mixed vegetables. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  4. Add Egg Whites: Pour the whisked egg whites evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Give a gentle stir to combine and distribute ingredients uniformly.
  5. Cook on Stovetop: Allow the mixture to cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set and slightly solidify.
  6. Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the egg and vegetable mixture.
  7. Bake Frittata: Transfer the oven-safe skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve, garnished with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an aromatic finish.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet to easily transfer from stovetop to oven.
  • Feel free to substitute feta with goat cheese or omit cheese for a dairy-free option.
  • Adding fresh herbs at the end enhances flavor and presentation.
  • Ensure not to overcook on the stovetop before baking to keep the frittata light and fluffy.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep and tastes great served warm or at room temperature.
