    Frittata with Spinach & Leeks


    Source of Recipe


    by Marsha, from American Institute for Cancer Research

    List of Ingredients




    4 eggs
    4 egg whites
    1/2-1 tablespoon canola oil
    2-3 cloves garlic (or to taste), minced
    3 cups fresh spinach
    1 large leek (tough outer leaves removed), thinly sliced
    1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Recipe



    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites and set aside.

    Carefully spread canola oil over entire surface of a nonstick skillet and heat pan on medium until hot. Add garlic, spinach and leeks and gently saute until tender and soft, about 5 minutes.

    Pour eggs over sauteed vegetables. Sprinkle with chives. Lower heat to low-medium and cook until eggs are set and underside is browned. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    With a knife, cut frittata into 4 pieces. Gently transfer frittata, 1 serving at a time, to plates, flipping so that browned sides face up. Serve hot.
