Ingredients

  • 6 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup diced cooked bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and bacon. Saute for 3 minutes, until the vegetables are just beginning to soften.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the egg whites to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the frittata and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Cut into wedges and serve.
