A light and fluffy egg white frittata packed with savory turkey bacon and fresh spinach, perfect for a healthy and satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large egg whites (about 1 cup / 240 ml)
  • 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra-virgin preferred)
  • 1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheese (optional, about 30g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped turkey bacon and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly crispy but not burnt. Remove and set aside, leaving oil in the pan.
  3. Add diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. While veggies cook, whisk egg whites in a bowl until slightly frothy but not stiff.
  6. Return turkey bacon to the skillet and spread evenly. Pour in egg whites, tilting the pan to coat ingredients evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese and fresh herbs on top. Add smoked paprika or red pepper flakes if using.
  7. Cook on stovetop over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until edges start to set but center is still slightly runny.
  8. Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

If edges cook too fast on stovetop, reduce heat or briefly remove skillet before baking. Use fresh spinach to avoid sogginess. Let frittata rest after baking for easier slicing. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternative. Vegetarian option: omit turkey bacon or substitute with smoked tempeh.
