Egg White Frittata




Frittata is an italian make of omlette basically. Frittatas can be cooked with veggies of your choice. Unlike omlette, fritatta is usually divided into slices like pizza. It could be served hot or cold, but i prefer the hot one :) Fritattas can be best complimented with Salads. I learnt this recipe from a local chef when i was touring Italy in 2010, and believe me the recipe very simple, quick and yummy!

The Making:


Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs(medium)
  • 10 egg whites
  • 1 red bell pepper- cut into small cubes
  • 1 green bell pepper- cut into small cubes
  • 1 small tin of corn kernels
  • 100gm cherry tomatoes- halved
  • 2 spring onions(sliced)
  • 100gm low fat feta cheese
  • Black pepper(grounded) and salt to taste.
Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degree C
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  3. Beat together eggs and egg whites for 2-3 mins on a minimum speed.
  4. Combine all the veggies, half the feta and some ground black pepper
  5. Pour the veggie mix into the tray then pour over the egg mix. Give the tray a shake to even out the mix
  6. Sprinkle over the rest of the feta so its on top
  7. Bake for about 20mins.
  8. Remove and place it on a hot grill wire so that the top puffs up and becomes golden.
Enjoy!
