How to Make Frittata
Step 1: Prepare
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Prepare the vegetables by dicing them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Then, whisk the egg whites and egg yolks together until they are combined. Then add in the almond milk and whisk until combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Saute
Next, heat a 10-inch no-stick skillet over medium/high heat. Add olive oil to the pan. When olive oil is fragrant add garlic, onion, peppers, and zucchini to the pan along with salt and pepper. Saute the vegetables until the onions are translucent.
Here’s a tip–> If you want to add extra flavor to the frittata add a couple of teaspoons of your favorite seasoning mix (try our fajita seasoning) to the vegetables while they’re cooking. It adds great flavor!
Step 3: Bake + Serve
After the vegetables are cooked, spray the sides of the pan one last time with cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and place into the oven and bake for 16-18 minutes!
Remove from the oven and serve with a breakfast salad, toast, or top with your favorite cheese or hot sauce.
