In the morning, I like to have a really nutritious, protein packed meal to start my day off right. This frittata is exactly that. Eggs and whites, spinach, vegetables, and avocado make this one power house breakfast. I make this for breakfast for myself almost every day because it is just so good and sets me up for success throughout the day.

Ingredients:
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 full eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1 tablespoon red onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato, chopped
- 2 tablespoons zucchini, chopped
- 2 tablespoons mushrooms, chopped
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach
- 5 cubes avocado
- Pinch salt and pepper
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salsa, optional
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 ̊F. Heat the oil in a small pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion, pepper, tomato, zucchini, and mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté the vegetables until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and cook till wilted.
In the meantime, beat the eggs, egg whites, and paprika together in a large bowl. Once the spinach is wilted, pour the egg mixture into the pan so that it covers all the vegetables and spinach. Drop the avocado cubes throughout eggs.
Place in the oven and cook until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and plate. Top with salsa and serve!
