Ingredients

• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
• 6 large egg whites
• 0.5 cup skim milk
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced

• 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the oats, reduce heat to low, and let them simmer until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk. Add Greek yogurt and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the softened oats to the egg mixture along with spinach, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and green onions. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt until everything is evenly mixed.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy start to the day!
