Asiago Cheese, Spinach, Basil and Sundried Tomato Fritatta Recipe
Friday, July 24th, 2009Notes:
This is a fritatta recipe I got from a health website. I do not recall the website but these are absolutely delicious and easy to make! And very good for you. On the website they boasted that a breakfast higher in calories and protein would actually lower your calorie intake for the remainder of the day! I tested it and it DOES WORK! This is supposed to be eaten with one slice of toast and a half cup berries. It feels like a big breakfast and it really does make you not so hungry all day long! The recipe said it was 250 calories for this, but I use a cupcake pan which cut the suggested serving size down quite a bit (they said it was 4 servings but I got six) - so I added the whole breakfast up (toast and berries) and it runs around 350 calories. Feel free to replace things to cut the calories if need be!
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
Basil
Spinach
Eggs
Shredded Asiago Cheese
Onion or Scallop (scallop is recommended because it isn't as strong)
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Salt
Directions:
Cook in a pan on medium or medium high 1 small Scallop until soft but not brown then add 1 Cup packed spinach (I use olive oil cooking spray) until it's soft
This should only take about 5 minutes.
Take pan off of stove and set aside (if it's still cooking make sure and throw it in to a bowl until you need it - don't want it to over cook)
Beat 4 egg whites and 4 whole eggs in a separate bowl
Finely chop 1/4 cup basil and throw into the egg mixture
Chop 1/4 cup Sundried Tomatoes and throw in to the egg mixture
throw in 1/2 tsp. salt & pinch of pepper
Throw in 1/2 Cup shredded Asiago cheese into the egg mixture, along with your spinach and scallop.
(Feel free to add garlic if you like!)
Spoon mixture into cupcake pan or baking dishes (the site said it made only 4 but I got 6 out of this using the cupcake pan instead. If you use the larger baking dishes make sure to note that this breakfast will be higher in calories…duh…I know
)
Cook for approximately 10-14 minutes at 250 degrees until the middle is firm (no juicy centers!)
I premade these for the entire week once and it actually wasn't bad…some of my friends grossed out at the idea but it kept me on track breakfast wise!
