DIRECTIONS
Cheese and Vegetable Frittata
1. Preheat oven (regular or toaster oven)
to broil setting.
2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs together
until foamy, stir in the whole wheat
flour, black pepper, and baking
powder.
3. Using a heavy skillet with an
ovenproof handle, coat the skillet with
cooking spray and heat on medium.
4. Add the onion and cook until it starts
to get soft, then add the spinach, bell
pepper and mushrooms and cook for
2-3 minutes more.
5. Add the garlic and basil and cook for
1 minute. Stir to avoid burning these.
6. Add the egg mixture into the pan
and stir to mix the vegetables with
the eggs.
7. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the egg
mixture has set on the bottom and
begins to set on top.
8. Add the shredded cheese and using
the back of the spoon, push lightly
under the eggs, so it won’t burn in
the oven.
