Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 4 large egg whites
• 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced zucchini
• 1 cup, sliced mushrooms
• 2 stalks, chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and low-fat cottage cheese until well blended. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the spinach and green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 7

Season the vegetables with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to ensure the eggs and vegetables are evenly distributed.

Step 9

Cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes, until the edges start to set.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven (use oven mitts—it's hot!) and let the frittata cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Sprinkle with the freshly chopped parsley before slicing into wedges and serving.
