Lighter Spinach Frittata
This makes a great low point lunch served with a green side salad. I lightened this recipe by replacing most of the eggs with egg whites and reducing the fat. For convenience I buy Trader Joe's cage free liquid egg whites. When buying parmesan cheese, I like to buy Parmigiano-Reggiano. It has a sharp, strong-flavoured, nutty taste. Inferior versions of parmesan can have a bitter taste.

Servings: 4 servings • Time: 15 minutes • Points: 2.85 ww points

• 2 whole eggs
• 8 egg whites
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 2 oz crumbled feta
• 2 tbsp Parmigiano-Reggiano
• salt and freshly ground pepper

Squeeze all water from spinach. In a 9 inch non-stick sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and scallions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile in a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add salt, pepper, cheeses and spinach and mix well. Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook until the bottom sets, about 5 minutes. Hold a large plate over the pan and invert the frittata onto the plate, then slide it back into the pan. Cook about 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.
