Red, White and Green Frittata

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallion (white and green portion)
  • 1/4 cup shredded potato
  • 1/4 cup asparagus, cut into 1/4-in pieces
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 Tbsp fat-free milk
  • 2 Tbsp whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp chopped tomato
  • 2 slices whole wheat toast
  1. In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add scallion, potato and asparagus; sauté until tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add salt, pepper and spinach; sauté until wilted.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together egg whites, milk and cream cheese; add to skillet.
  4. Cook eggs for about 4 to 5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom with a spatula. When eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly wet, transfer to two 8-ounce ramekins.
  5. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and top each ramekin with a tablespoon of shredded cheese; place under broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese melts and browns slightly. Watch carefully so it does not burn!
  6. Remove ramekins from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and serve with a slice of toast.
