Ingredients

4 large eggs (24g protein)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until it wilts.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, making sure they are evenly distributed. Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set and slightly golden on top.
Once cooked, remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the frittata warm, either as a main dish or with a side salad, according to your SOZA weight loss program guidelines.
