Despite its humble origins as a health-focused creation, this frittata delivers on both fronts: nourishment and flavor.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of fresh spinach
• Olive oil spray
• ½ cup of diced roasted red bell pepper (from a jar)
• ½ teaspoon of minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, minced
• Pinch of sea salt
• 2 cups of egg whites
• Freshly ground pepper

Instructions:

1. Begin by adding an inch of water to a large oven-proof skillet and bringing it to a boil. Toss in the spinach and let it wilt for about 2 minutes. Once wilted, transfer the spinach to a paper towel, squeeze out any excess water, and give it a good chop.
2. Wipe down the skillet and place it over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, minced garlic, thyme, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Sauté this flavorful mix for about 3 minutes, then remove it from the pan.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become lightly frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir in the chopped spinach and red pepper mixture.
4. Preheat your broiler while wiping out the skillet and returning it to medium heat. Give it a light spritz of olive oil spray. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting it to ensure even distribution. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the frittata, allowing the eggs to run underneath.
5. Lower the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the frittata cook for about 5 minutes, giving it a gentle shake every now and then. When the eggs are almost fully set, remove the skillet from the heat.
6. Now, here comes the fun part—pop the frittata under the broiler for up to 3 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning. Once it’s beautifully golden on top, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes before cutting it into delectable pieces.
