Vegetable-and-Cheese Frittata
Frittatas make easy, versatile vegetarian meals and are a great way to transform eggs into a more substantial lunch or dinner entrée.

Whip together 4 whole eggs and 8 whites (to help cut back on calories, fat, and cholesterol) with black pepper and a pinch of kosher salt, and pour mixture over the softened vegetables.

Transfer the skillet to a 375° oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Cut the frittata into quarters and plate each wedge
