Low Fat Summer Frittata

Fiona Haynes
This is a quick and easy summer lunch or light supper I enjoy making for myself. Quantities can easily be doubled. Enjoy with a green salad drizzled with a light vinaigrette or a piece of crusty whole grain bread.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute such as Egg Beaters
  • 1/2 cup halved and sliced zucchini (or 1/4 cup each of sliced zucchini and summer squash)
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced and deseeded
  • 1 tbsp reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped basil
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Coat a small oven-proof skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat broiler.

Gently sauté vegetables and tomato until golden. Pour egg substitute over and around vegetables. Add extra tomato slices on top if desired. Sprinkle with chopped basil. Cook for 3 minutes until frittata is cooked around the edges. Place skillet under broiler and broil for 2 minutes, or until frittata is just set and golden around the edges. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
