Skinny Pepper and Onion Frittata

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

4 eggs

8 egg whites

½ cup skim milk

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ cup reduced-fat mild cheddar shredded cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, onion and bell peppers and cook for 12-15 minutes or until very soft and the onions are translucent. (The vegetables will shrink down to almost half their original size.)

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, black pepper and garlic powder.

Pour over the vegetable mixture and continue cooking for 5 minutes over medium-heat, or until the edges of the eggs start to set.

Evenly sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the center is set.

To test if it is done, insert the tip of a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, it's done.

Allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 slices.
