Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 8 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 spray as needed Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray an oven-safe 10-inch nonstick skillet with olive oil cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Stir 3/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg white mixture, reserving the rest for topping.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach and onion mixture in the skillet.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese across the top of the frittata mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the frittata is set in the center and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, low-fat spinach and cheese frittata!
