Low Calorie Vegetable Frittata Recipes

SUPER QUICK HEALTHY VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a 9 or 10-inch frying pan over low heat. Cook the onion for about 5 minutes until soft. Take care not to burn.
• Add the garlic, and stir, then add the cooked vegetables and cabbage. Cook for another 2 minutes.
• Season the beaten eggs with a twist of black pepper and a little salt at the last minute (adding salt before this time can make the frittata tough). Give the eggs a good whisking.
• Tip the beaten eggs into the cooked vegetables in the frying pan and stir. Add the parsley and stir well.
• Turn the heat down to low, and cook until the sides and center of the omelet are barely set.
• Turn the frittata over onto a large plate. Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then transfer frittata back to the frying pan with the uncooked side downwards.
• Sprinkle the goat's cheese over and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the frittata is golden and firm. Alternatively, you can transfer the frittata to the broiler and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, and leave to cool slightly. Cut into wedges.

• Transfer cooled, blanched vegetables into a round, fluted tart pan. Spread egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Spoon cottage cheese evenly over the egg mixture.
