Ingredients

  • 6 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup onion and garlic salad croutons
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
  • 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Directions

  1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, process croutons until ground. Sprinkle evenly onto the bottom and 1 in. up the side of a greased 2-qt. souffle dish; set aside.
  3. In a large saucepan, saute onion, red pepper and prosciutto in oil for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add spinach and garlic; cook just until spinach is wilted. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  4. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolk; return all to the bowl, stirring constantly. Cool slightly.
  5. Add cream of tartar to egg whites; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into vegetable mixture. Transfer to prepared dish; sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until top is puffed and center appears set. Serve immediately.
