This is fabulous. I used only egg whites, and added a few slices of chopped uncured turkey bacon and some mushrooms. So delicious!

I had about a pound of leftover swiss chard from another recipe and was looking for a way to use it when I came across this. It came out looking beautiful, and the flavor was well-balanced. (Even my friend who hates eggs said she liked it!) I appreciate how healthy it was, but I thought it could have used a little more kick - I ended up adding extra salt and sprinkling a little Romano on top. Once again, thanks for a great way to use up my Swiss Chard!

I think it was the fluffy texture of this frittata that I loved so much. Using the egg whites gives this dish an elegant souflee like quality that is definitely lighter than my usual omelette. Flipping the frittata was quite scary, but not to worry...it held together perfectly. I used spinach as a successful substitute for the swiss chard, but I'm sure that any combination of vegetables would work with this great recipe.

Nice light egg dish incorporating lots of fresh veggies. I halved this recipe for my small family and cooked as directed; however, I could not flip the frittata over in one piece! The swiss chard was great in this recipe.
