Egg White Frittata With Green Chiles And Spinach Healthy Vegetarian Recipes

EGG WHITE FRITTATA WITH GREEN CHILES AND SPINACH - HEALTHY & VEGETARIAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325ºF.
• In an oven-safe skillet, heat butter medium heat. Add green onions, green chiles, and saute until green onions are softened (1-2 minute). Add spinach and stir and continue to cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. If you have a cover, you can cover for 1-2 minutes to speed the process of wilting the spinach. Add salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the cheese will add saltiness.
• Pour in egg whites, cheddar cheese, and cottage cheese, stirring to combine. (You can whisk these together in a bowl first, but I'm in the less-dishes-is-better camp. If you're not using all egg whites, you'll have to get out that bowl and whisk.)
• Move to preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until eggs are set. Cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving.
• May be served hot, room temperature, or even cold.

GREEN CHILE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the hash browns and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the eggs to a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine, and then stir in the Cheddar and cottage cheese.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir the sausage and green chiles into the skillet to combine.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the mixture is thick, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer to the oven and cook until set, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Run a rubber spatula around the edge of the skillet and slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with the salsa.
