Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
4 cups loosely packed baby arugula
8 large egg whites
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 plum tomato, thinly sliced crosswise
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
Handful of small fresh basil leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the arugula and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low.
  • Beat the egg whites and mustard in a medium bowl with a mixer on high speed until foamy.
  • Return the heat to medium and pour the egg white mixture into the skillet. Cook until the bottom is set, lifting the edges occasionally to allow the raw egg whites to drip to the bottom of the skillet, about 3 minutes. Top with the tomato slices and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Top evenly with the goat cheese.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, about 8 minutes. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of basil, if desired.

EGG WHITE FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI, BLACK OLIVES, AND CHARD



Egg White Frittata With Zucchini, Black Olives, and Chard image

My mom's garden is incredible. This recipe provides a perfect use for her bounty of zucchini and Swiss chard. It's also a delicious, very satisfying dish that's simple to make. The coconut milk adds richness and body without introducing coconut flavor but you could use cream, half-and-half, or any other kind of milk, dairy or non-dairy, instead. Lower fat contents will yield a lighter result.

Categories     Chard

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch to 1-inch dice
12 ounces chard leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon Greek oregano
1/2 cup ripe black olives, chopped
10 egg whites
1/3 cup coconut milk (*not* the coconut milk that comes in a carton and is meant for drinking)

Steps:

  • Generously sprinkle zucchini pieces with fine sea salt and set aside on a cutting board or in a colander for about 30 minutes.
  • Blot the zucchini with a towel, toss with enough olive oil to coat (about 1 Tbsp), and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast at 425 degrees F. for about 8 minutes; stir and roast another 5 to 8 minutes, until zucchini pieces are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Trim the chard by removing and discarding the stems. Cut the leaf blades into 1/2-inch ribbons.
  • Bring about a quart of salted water to a boil in a wide skillet. Add the chard and simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, turning the leaves over occasionally with a spatula. Drain the chard and spread on a cutting board to cool. When it's cool, squeeze excess moisture from the chard.
  • Saute the onion in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil until soft; add the garlic and oregano and saute another minute or so. Add the chard and olives, and cook for another couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the zucchini.
  • In a bowl, blend the egg whites and coconut milk. (If using canned coconut milk, shake the can vigorously before opening to blend the contents.) Stir in the vegetables. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8 by 8 baking dish.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set.
