Swiss Chard Frittata

Approximate cooking time: 20 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 large egg
10 large egg whites
1 1/4 cup Swiss chard, sliced 1/2 inch thick crosswise, stalks removed and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 (cup) onion, thinly sliced crosswise
1/3 cup fresh part-skim ricotta cheese, pressed through a fine sieve
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together egg, whites, ricotta, teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a medium bowl.
Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add Swiss chard stalks and onion, and cook until onion is tender and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add Swiss chard leaves, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add egg mixture, and stir once or twice to distribute vegetables evenly. Place skillet in oven, and bake until eggs have set, about 13 minutes. Serve immediately.
