Eggology Egg White Recipe of the Day

Frittata. Say that ten times! We never really knew the difference between a frittata and a quiche but upon our research (thank you Wikipedia) have found that one is French with a crust (quiche) and one is Italian with no crust (frittata, frittata!). Both are what we consider egg pies and are usually served for breakfast, lunch or brunch. What we love about the frittata is that it is just as scrumptious as a quiche - but with no crust - thus eliminating lots of calories and fat.

Another great way to make it a more healthy meal is to substitute the eggs in the recipe for Eggology egg whites. We happen to have quite a selection of frittata recipes online, but this is one of our all time faves. Enjoy!
