Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 large Egg whites
- 2 large Whole eggs
- 0.5 cup Skim milk
- 2 cups Spinach
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 0.25 cup Low-fat feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, cooking until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, then remove the skillet from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, and skim milk until well combined and frothy.
Stir in the oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Chop the cherry tomatoes and add them to the egg mixture along with the sautéd vegetables and crumbled feta cheese.
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bake is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm and enjoy a heart-healthy start to your day!
