Mediterranean Egg White Frittata
A light skillet frittata with spinach, tomato, and feta.
Ingredients
- 1 cup egg whites
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Whisk together the egg whites and whole eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until just combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (cast iron works great) over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook for about 1 minute until it starts to wilt, then scatter in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Gently shake the pan to distribute everything, then dot the top with crumbled feta.
- Cook on the stovetop without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are set and start to pull away from the pan but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the top is puffed, golden, and fully set. Let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
Tips
- Make sure your skillet handle is oven-safe before putting it under the broiler — wrap a non-safe handle in a double layer of aluminum foil as a safeguard.
- Add a pinch of dried oregano or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture for extra Mediterranean flavor.
- This frittata is just as good at room temperature, making it a great make-ahead breakfast or packed lunch.
- Swap feta for goat cheese or mozzarella depending on what you have on hand.
