# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Low Calorie: Only 105 calories per serving, making it perfect for weight management.
  • High Protein: Each serving packs 17g of protein to keep you satiated.
  • Veggie-Rich: A great way to get multiple servings of greens and colorful vegetables in one meal.
  • Diet-Friendly: Naturally gluten-free, low-fat, and easily adaptable for dairy-free diets.
02 -
  • Avoid Watery Frittata: Sautéing the zucchini and spinach before baking helps release excess moisture, preventing a soggy result.
  • Easy Prep: Use carton liquid egg whites to save time and reduce waste if you don't need the yolks for another recipe.
  • Perfect Set: Test the center with a knife; if it comes out clean and the eggs don't wobble, the frittata is perfectly cooked.
