Ingredients

  • 6 large egg whites
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
  • 2 turkey bacon strips, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, whisk the first 6 ingredients.
  2. In an 8-in. ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, red pepper and bacon; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until onion is tender and bacon is cooked. Reduce heat to medium-low; top with spinach.
  3. Pour in egg mixture. As eggs set, push cooked portions toward the center, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath; cook until eggs are nearly thickened. Remove from heat; sprinkle with basil, then cheese.
  4. Broil 3-4 in. from heat 2-3 minutes or until eggs are completely set. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut into wedges.
