Ingredients

  • egg whites 6 large
  • fresh spinach 1 cup
  • olive oil 1 tsp
  • whole wheat bagel 1 medium

Method

  1. Prepare Ingredients. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Separate 6 large egg whites into a mixing bowl, ensuring no yolk is included.
    Tip: Use fresh spinach for best flavor and texture. If you prefer, you can chop the spinach roughly for easier eating.
  2. Cook Spinach. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fresh spinach and sauté gently for about 2-3 minutes until wilted but still bright green. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
    Tip: Do not overcook the spinach; it should be tender but not mushy.
  3. Add Egg Whites. Pour the egg whites evenly over the cooked spinach in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Let the egg whites cook gently without stirring, allowing them to set around the spinach.
    Tip: Cover the skillet with a lid to help the egg whites cook evenly on top.
  4. Finish Cooking the Frittata. Check if the egg whites are fully set and cooked through (firm to the touch). This should take about 5 more minutes. If desired, you can finish the top under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown, but this is optional.
    Tip: Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges before sliding the frittata onto a plate.
  5. Toast the Whole Wheat Bagel. While the frittata is cooking, slice the whole wheat bagel in half and toast it to your preferred level of crispness using a toaster or oven.
    Tip: Toasting the bagel adds a nice crunch and enhances flavor.
  6. Serve. Place the cooked egg white spinach frittata on a plate alongside the toasted whole wheat bagel. Optionally, add a small spread of your favorite healthy topping on the bagel, such as avocado or light cream cheese.
    Tip: Enjoy your meal fresh and warm for the best taste.

Pro tips

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the egg whites from sticking and make flipping easier.
  • If you want extra flavor, add a pinch of salt and pepper to the egg whites before cooking.
