Piquant Vegetarian Frittata


Very flavorful frittata that features zucchini but would be equally delicious substituting asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower or yellow summer squash.

Steps


In a medium bowl combine the eggs , egg whites , 1 / 4 teaspoon salt and a few grindings of black pepper and stir in the mozzarella.
Lightly coat a large oven-safe nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat.
Add the onions and mushrooms and cook , stirring , 5 minutes.
Add the zucchini , red peppers , thyme , 1 / 4 teaspoons salt and pinch black pepper.
Cook the mixture , stirring , 4 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook over medium-high heat for 7 minutes.
As the eggs begin to set , run a spatula around the edges and tilt the skillet to allow any uncooked egg to run under the cooked portions.
Do not stir.
When the eggs are almost set , cover , reduce the heat to medium-low , and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the eggs are set.
Preheat the broiler.
Sprinkle parmesan on top of the eggs.
Broil the frittata for 4 minutes or until the parmesan is lightly browned.
Cut the frittata into 6 wedges and serve.
