Spinach and Mushroom Egg White Frittata
Description
The Spinach and Mushroom Egg White Frittata begins by sautéing sliced mushrooms and fresh spinach until the mushrooms soften and the spinach wilts. Whisked egg whites with a pinch of kosher salt are then poured over the vegetables and cooked gently until edges solidify. Sprinkling Parmesan cheese adds a subtle nutty flavor, enhancing the overall dish.
Broiling the fritata briefly creates a lightly puffed top and finishes cooking the egg whites, resulting in a tender but firm texture throughout. The combination of mushrooms and spinach provides earthiness and freshness, balanced by the creamy cheese topping. Serving with hot sauce adds an optional spicy contrast.
It works well as a light breakfast or brunch dish, or a protein-enriched appetizer. The straightforward preparation highlights the ingredients without heavy seasoning, suitable for a simple and nutritious meal.
Ingredients
- 2-3 brown mushrooms sliced
- spinach handful, fresh
- 1 cup egg white
- kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- hot sauce if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or toaster oven to broil.
- Spray a 7-inch non-stick fry pan with cooking spray and heat on medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once or twice. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach has wilted.
- Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until light and frothy, add a pinch of kosher salt and pour into the mushroom and spinach mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the parmesan. Let the eggs cook undisturbed until the edges of the egg whites start to cook through and turn a more solid white. Gently lift the edges of the egg whites and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg runs under the cooked part and cook for another minute.
- Transfer the fry pan to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs have puffed and have cooked through. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Cut into wedges and serve with hot sauce if desired.
