Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     breakfast, brunch, dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 25m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
1 very large leek, white part only, sliced thin and rinsed well
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Salt
pepper
5 large raw egg whites
3 tablespoons grated pecorino
1/2 cup baby arugula or other salad green
1/4 cup mizuna or other salad green
Half a lemon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 7-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook until bubbling. Add the leek and sauté until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 more minute.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with 2 tablespoons pecorino. Add to the skillet and gently stir together with the leeks for 1 minute, to gently scramble them. Scrape down sides of the pan.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the center of the frittata stiffens (check by gently shaking the pan) and it is fully cooked, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon pecorino.
  • Toss the arugula and mizuna with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and place on the frittata.

Tips:

  • Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help them whip up more easily and give your frittata a lighter texture.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. You want them to be stiff but not dry. If you overbeat them, they will become tough and your frittata will be dense.
  • Be careful not to overcook your frittata. It should be cooked through but still slightly soft in the center. If you overcook it, it will become dry and rubbery.
  • Feel free to get creative with your fillings. You can use any vegetables, cheese, or meat that you like. Just make sure that they are cooked through before you add them to the egg whites.
  • Serve your frittata immediately or let it cool and then slice it into wedges. It's a great option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

Egg white frittatas are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of this classic dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give an egg white frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
