Reasons You'll Love It
A flavorful way to enjoy a protein-packed meal without the extra fat from yolks. It’s light yet filling, with a great mix of textures from the crispy bacon, melted cheese, and tender veggies. Perfect for any time of the day, it’s both healthy and satisfying.
Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then, until it's nicely browned—this usually takes about 10 minutes. Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels and let it cool for a few minutes before breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In the same skillet, melt some butter over medium heat and sauté the cauliflower, bell pepper, and green onions until they’re tender, around 5 to 7 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat and set the veggies aside.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, water, oregano, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture looks a bit frothy. Then fold in the bacon, mozzarella, mushrooms, Parmesan, tomato, and the cooked veggies. Pour everything into your prepared baking dish.
Step 4
Pop the dish in the oven and bake until the frittata is fully set, which should take about 40 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
