Mar 31, 2026 1:34 AM

  Bursting with Italian flavor, this frittata is equally at home at brunch or dinner.

  

Ingredients

Serves 4; 1 wedge per serving

  1 teaspoon canola or corn oil

  1 medium zucchini, diced

  3 medium green onions, sliced

  1 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added tomatoes, drained

  2 medium garlic cloves, minced

  1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crumbled

  1/4 teaspoon pepper

  6 large egg whites or 3/4 cup egg substitute, whites whisked to combine

  1/2 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese (about 2 ounces)

  1 tablespoon shredded or grated Parmesan cheese

  

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F with the top rack about 4 inches from the heat.

  

Step 2

In a large broilerproof nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the zucchini for about 6 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally.

  

Step 3

Stir in the green onions. Cook for 1 minute.

  

Step 4

Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has slightly thickened, stirring frequently.

  

Step 5

Stir in the egg whites. Sprinkle with the mozzarella.

  

Step 6

Bake for 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Leaving the pan in the oven, change the setting to broil. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cut into 4 wedges.
