When my husband and I decided to lose weight, I turned to my cookbook collection and lightened up several recipes. With its fresh spinach salad, this hearty frittata quickly became a favorite. --Joyce Fairchild of Marina Del Rey, California

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups egg substitute
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • SALAD:
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach
  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook onion over medium heat for 3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the skillet. Add spinach to skillet in batches, cooking for 1 minute or until wilted. Remove from the heat.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg substitute until frothy. Stir in the onion mixture, spinach, mozzarella, blue cheese, tomatoes and nuts. Place in a 10-in. ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray.
