1 red bell pepper, chopped
5 egg whites
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
¼ cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add 1 tsp olive oil to skillet and move skillet around to evenly distribute the olive oil.
- Add thinly sliced onion rings and cook over medium heat, turning onions occasionally. Next, add green peppers and bell peppers on top of onions. Cook a few minutes until onions have begun to caramelize.
- In a small mixing bowl, add egg whites, eggs, salt, and pepper. Whisk egg mixture together and then pour into skillet, making sure to cover onions, green peppers, and red peppers.
- When the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes, move skillet to oven and cook an additional 15-20 minutes. Top with cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of cooking to melt the cheese on top of the frittata.
- To serve, cut into 5 slices.
