Lazy Weekend Frittata
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients
2 medium-sized baking potatoes
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped broccoli florets
2 scallions, chopped
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 whole eggs
3 egg whites
1/4 cup low-fat milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the potatoes for about 1 hour, or in the microwave oven on high power for 7 to 10 minutes, until tender. Cut into 1/2-inch chunks.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, scallions, bell pepper, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the vegetables are tender and the potatoes are lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and milk.
Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low and add the egg mixture. As the mixture begins to set, push the ends slightly toward the center, allowing the liquid to run to the edges of the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
Allow to cook for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the eggs are set, then slide the frittata out of the pan and onto a serving plate. Cut into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
