Ingredients
- 1 pouch Angel Hair Palmini
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets, lightly chopped and pressed dry
- ⅓ cup fat free shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar
- ½ cup cottage cheese, 4% milk fat (114 grams)
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder or slightly more of any other favorite seasoning.
- ⅛ teaspoon salt (you can use more, but this is a good start)
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup egg whites from a carton or regular egg whites (7 or 8). I haven't tested yet with whole eggs (228 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 4 wells of a Texas size muffin pan with softened butter or spray with cooking spray,
- Drain the Palmini and put it in a bowl. Blot dry with paper towels and lightly season it with your favorite seasoning blend. Season the broccoli with Italian seasoning or anything else you like.
- Divide the Palmini between the muffin wells, then arrange cooked drained broccoli or spinach pieces over palmini. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese (or other flavor) over the Palmini and vegetables.
- In a bowl, stir together the 1 cup of egg whites and ½ cup cottage cheese. Add the salt and any more salt free seasonings you like.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the palmini and vegetables. These will puff up quite a bit in the oven, so set the muffin pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 to 40 minutes or until you don't see much clear egg white floating around on top and tops look lightly browned. Without the Palmini they are usually done in about 35 minutes, but I bake the Palmini ones for 40. Internal temperature is usually somewhere around 190 to 200.
- Let stand for about 5 to 10 minutes. During that time, trim away any of the egg white that has baked up and over and loosen from muffin pans with the tip of a knife.
- Serve immediately or transfer to the refrigerator and chill or transfer to the freezer. To reheat, thaw the frittata(s) in the microwave, then warm in a toaster oven or briefly in an air fryer.
