    Whether you enjoy this egg white frittata for breakfast or dinner, it's one tasty recipe that you can feel good about!

    Perfect for healthy meal prep, it's low calorie, low carb, keto friendly, vegetarian and high in protein. That's a lot of reasons to love this easy recipe!

    Egg whites by themselves can be pretty bland in flavor, so I've loaded this with fresh vegetables and herbs so it's super yummy!

    Ingredients

    • Egg Whites: I highly recommend you use cartoned egg whites for this recipe. It's much more convenient than cracking and separating 16 eggs!
    • Heavy Cream: Heavy cream adds a creamy texture as well as a boost of flavor. You can also use sour cream, milk or yogurt.
    • Seasonings: Oregano, salt and pepper.
    • Vegetables: Red bell pepper, red onion, garlic and spinach.

    Recipe Variations

    This egg white frittata is pretty delicious as it is, but you can easily make it your own. You can use other veggies you have in your fridge like mushrooms or tomatoes, and if you want to add some shredded cheese to the top of the egg whites before baking, I'm certainly not going to stop you!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it keep?

    Frittata are so perfect for weekly meal prep, they are great for grab and go breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Once your frittata has fully cooled, cut it into portions and store in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep well for 4 to 5 days.

    Reheat your frittata in the microwave for a couple of minutes or in the oven at 350F / 180c for 10 minutes to warm it through. It can also be enjoyed cold.

    How do you know when the frittata is cooked?

    It's important to not over cook your frittata as the eggs can become quite rubbery. It's ready to come out of the oven when the center is just firm and the edges have browned.

    What do you serve with it?

    This egg white frittata is perfect to enjoy by itself for an easy breakfast or pair it with a fresh salad for a tasty brunch. For an easy dinner, serve it with your favorite veggie and potato side dishes. Try it with:
    Cilantro Cucumber Salad
    Sweet Potato Cakes
    Oven Baked Fries
    Brown Rice Salad

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • It’s best to avoid adding watery vegetables like zucchini or your frittata can end up soggy.
    • Let the frittata sit in the pan for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
