At Captiva Art Cafe on Captiva Island, Florida, chef Matthew Mitchell offers imaginative pasta and egg dishes as his meatless selections. We reduced the yolks in his frittata, but all the wonderful flavor is still there. Mitchell accompanies the frittata with toasted focaccia.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium-size red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
2 cups (packed) spinach leaves, torn into 1-inch pieces
3 large eggs
6 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ounce shaved Asiago cheese
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler. Heat olive oil in 10-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté until golden, about 8 minutes. Add zucchini; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach; stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Whisk eggs, egg whites, salt and pepper in medium bowl to blend. Pour egg mixture over hot vegetables in skillet; stir gently to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook without stirring until eggs are set on bottom, about 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Sprinkle cheese over frittata. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with tomatoes and basil.
