I have mentioned before that I’m not a big breakfast person, and when I do make breakfast it is usually pancakes and bacon for K. Well, I decided to try something a little more healthy for a change and this frittata from The Novice Chef seemed like the perfect place to start!
I am always a little hesitant to cook with only egg whites, because they can lack in flavor at times, but this dish turned out pretty tasty! I used goat cheese instead of feta and I’m not sure if that was my best substitution as the goat cheese is a little pungent, but it was still good!!
