Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Unsalted ricotta cheese
- 0.5 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Yellow onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Low sodium baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 2
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring occasionally until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, unsalted ricotta cheese, dried oregano, black pepper, chopped parsley, and low sodium baking powder until well combined and frothy.
Step 6
Gently fold the sautéed spinach mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared oven-safe skillet or baking dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and slightly golden on top.
Step 9
Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
