Ingredients
- 2 eggs (large)
- 2 cup liquid egg whites (pure)
- 1.5 pound russet potatoes (peeled and diced small)
- 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 2 zucchinis (medium, diced)
- 1 pound asparagus (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 4 cup baby arugula
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add diced russet potatoes, zucchini, and asparagus to the skillet with 3/8 teaspoon of salt and half the black pepper. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender and edges are lightly browned.
- In a bowl, whisk whole eggs, liquid egg whites, fresh basil, remaining salt, and remaining black pepper until uniform. Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables in the skillet.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes until the center is set and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Toss baby arugula and drained black beans with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice in a salad bowl. Slice frittata into wedges and serve warm alongside the salad.
