Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 1 carton (16 oz) Pasteurized Egg White
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup Broccoli, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced

Instructions

  1. Mix Egg Whites and Ricotta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasteurized egg whites with the ricotta cheese. Stir gently until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Vegetables: Prepare the broccoli by chopping it finely and dice the red bell pepper. Add both vegetables into the egg and ricotta mixture and stir to combine evenly.
  3. Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese into the mixture, ensuring everything is well distributed for a cheesy flavor throughout the frittata.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a skillet or oven-safe pan to prevent sticking, then pour the egg mixture evenly into the pan.
  5. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and allow it to fully preheat before baking.
  6. Bake the Frittata: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the frittata is fully set and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven once baked. Let it cool slightly, then optionally top with extra grated Parmesan for added flavor and presentation.
