| Swiss Chard Frittata A healthy alternative to the cheesy omelet: a frittata studded with Swiss | |
| chard, which delivers iron, potassium, and fiber. Using mostly egg whites | |
| in place of the usual whole eggs lowers the calorie count. Ingredients Serves 4. | |
| 1 large | egg |
| 10 large | egg whites |
| 1/3 cup | fresh part-skim ricotta cheese, pressed through a fine sieve |
| 1/2 teaspoon | coarse salt |
| 1/8 teaspoon | freshly ground pepper |
| 1 teaspoon | extra-virgin olive oil |
| 2 leaves | Swiss chard, (4 ounces), sliced 1/2 inch thick crosswise (1 1/4 |
| cups), stalks removed and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (1/2 cup) | |
| 1/2 large | onion, (4 ounces), thinly sliced crosswise (1/2 cup) |
| Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together egg, whites, ricotta, | |
| teaspoon | salt, and the pepper in a medium bowl. |
Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add Swiss
chard stalks and onion, and cook until onion is tender and translucent,
about 4 minutes. Add Swiss chard leaves, and cook, stirring, until
tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Add egg mixture, and stir once or twice to distribute vegetables evenly.
Place skillet in oven, and bake until eggs have set, about 13 minutes.
Serve immediately.
