Prep time: 25 minutes
What you need:
- 3 egg whites
- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
Equipment and supplies
- Bowl (for mixing)
- Cutting board
- Knife
- 10- to 12-inch nonstick, oven-safe skillet (This means it's OK to put it in the oven. Ask an adult if you're not sure.)
What to do:
- Set the oven to broil. Careful, this is a hot-hot setting!
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced peppers and onions and cook until soft, about 8 minutes.
- Pour egg mixture over the peppers and onions and stir gently with a rubber spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until eggs begin to set on the bottom.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Place pan into oven and broil for 3-4 minutes. The cheese should bubble and the frittata should be "set." That means it's not as liquid and jiggly as it started out.
- Remove pan from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before slicing into 6 wedges. Serve.
