I posted this on another thread and thought I would post here as well incase someone has interest...
Frittata recipe for anyone interested...
Ingredients:
Buy one large container of Egg Whites
One package of baby spinach (you can switch out any veggies but this is my fave)
Pam Spray
Goat cheese (you can also add low fat mozarella)
Italian seasonings (or any spices you enjoy)
I buy one package of Jimmy Dean low fat Turkey Sausage crumbles. (You can also switch this out with turkey bacon, vegetarian fake sausage crumbles, etc)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Take one large frying fan with a METAL handle (NOT PLASTIC as this will go in the oven)
Spray with pam pretty heavily so that the fritatta pops right out at the end
Pour the bag of turkey crumbles in the pan (or your meat of choice) and warm up
Then I add the whole bag of spinach which cooks down and softens up very well and sneaks in a good amount of veggies - (this is where you can also sneak in other veggies if you want - Asparagus tips, red peppers, etc)
Then on Medium to Medium-High heat (you don't want this to burn the bottle) add the carton of egg whites which will cover the large pan. You may not have to use the whole container. It all depends on how large you want your fritatta and how big your pan is. It doesn't rise so you can eye this.
On Medium heat, let is cook for a few minutes. You will notice the whole thing cooking except the top. At this point is where I put in goat cheese crumbles which end up melting with the turkey sausage and spinach and then I sprinkle Italian seasons all over it
Put it into the oven for about 8 mins which will cook the top up and melt the goat cheese
Once you see it's finished, pull out of oven and flip onto plate. You can then use another plate to flip it back over to see the pretty side. Cut into pie slices.
You can then rewarm each slice for about 45 seconds thru the week.
It's a super easy, super quick Breakfast and it's such a great flavor and way to sneak in veggies and Protein and being very low fat. It also helps with less waste of throwing food away because you can sneak in different veggies. The one above just happens to be my fave flavors. You can alternate different meats and cheeses and veggies and have a million different variations.
