How to Make Piquant Vegetarian Frittata
- Preheat oven to broil. Lightly grease a large (10-12 inch) oven-safe nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 2 large egg whites. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.
- Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 cup sliced mushrooms in the skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add 2 cups chopped zucchini (or your preferred vegetable), 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Cook over medium-high heat for 7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Do not stir.
- Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are almost completely set.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the Parmesan is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing into 6 wedges and serving. Enjoy!
