Ingredients

• 2 whole leeks
• 0 as needed olive oil spray
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 8 large egg whites
• 0.25 cups low-fat milk
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

Clean the leeks by trimming the roots and dark green tops, then slicing them lengthwise. Rinse well under cold water to remove any dirt or sand. Slice them into thin half-moons.

Step 3

Spray a non-stick frying pan with olive oil spray and place it over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced leeks to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Meanwhile, dice the red bell pepper. Add it to the pan with the leeks and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes until the pepper is tender.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Add the sautéed leeks and bell pepper, along with the baby spinach, to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Step 8

Spray a 9-inch ovenproof skillet or baking dish with olive oil spray. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

Step 9

Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
