Low Fat Spinach and Mushroom Frittata

Fiona Haynes
This spinach and mushroom frittata, which also features sliced tomatoes, is nicknamed egg pizza by my daughter, and I can see what she means. I guess she would call a veggie omelet an egg calzone. Enjoy this frittata with a side salad or with some crusty whole-grain bread.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 5-ounce pack baby spinach
  • 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 large roma tomato, halved lengthwise, then sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups liquid egg substitute
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup reduced fat cheese

Preparation:

Coat a medium oven-proof nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Wilt spinach on low-medium heat. Add mushrooms and tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add egg substitute and cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring until edges are set. Finish cooking under broiler until edges are golden and center is just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove skillet carefully, with an oven mitt, as handle will be hot.

Serves 4-6
