Spinach Frittata

This is incredibly simple, and it is healthy, but I wouldn't want to eat the entire thing, and half of it doesn't really fill you up. It would be good to have with something else, like a bowl of fruit and yogurt.

• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 2 egg whites
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons part-skim ricotta

1. Heat oven to 350° F.
2. Pour about 1/2 inch of water into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Fit a steamer basket in pan. Place the spinach in steamer, cover, and steam until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, yolk, and pepper. Stir in the steamed spinach. Pour the mixture into a 6-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet. Top with spoonfuls of the ricotta and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set.
4. Using a rubber spatula, slide the frittata onto a plate. Sprinkle with additional pepper (if desired).

Makes 1 serving.
