Egg white frittata


D's family is in town, so we've been quite busy, with little time to cook! However, I did get a chance to make a quick breakfast this morning, and although I only took one picture of the final product, I thought I'd share with you!

I am a big fan of breakfast, especially eggs. I decided to make an egg white frittata with lots of delicious vegetables. I started with some chopped bell pepper (red and green), sliced spring onion, and some fresh spinach leaves. I sauteed these in a large oven-proof pan until tender. In another bowl, I whisked together 12 egg whites, S&P, milk, and grated parmagiano reggiano cheese. I added the egg mixture to the pan, and threw the whole thing in the oven until the eggs were set. Then I added slices of fresh mozzerella on top, and put the pan under the broiler until the cheese melted.

It was a deeeelicious breakfast! I could eat one of these every single morning.
