A Filling Frittata

Filling Frittata
Makes ~6 servings



Want something quick, filling, healthy, and delicious? A frittata is the answer for you!

Ingredients:
  • 7 oz turkey ham, cubed into 1/2 inch pieces (you can use whatever type of meat you like, sausage, ham, chicken, tofu, etc.)
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1/2 small onion, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 scallion, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 8 large eggs, *note - I used 6 egg whites and 2 whole eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt - I only used a little bit of salt, because the ham was already salty
  • black pepper to taste
Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together.
  2. In a large skillet**, add the olive oil and heat on medium-high heat. Add the egg mixture and cooking for approximately 7 minutes, or until the eggs look nearly done.
  3. Remove the skillet from the range and place it under the broiler for another 7 minutes, or until the frittata is cooked all the way through and firm; the eggs should look golden on top.
**Note: use an oven-safe skillet and remember to use oven mitts, because the skillet will be hot!!

You can eat the frittata alone or with a side salad.



Enjoy,
