Eggwhite Frittata with Roasted Vegetables

I love roasted vegetables and I love eggs and when these two come together, they create magic. Though honestly, I love the egg yolks and think the crusade against them is totally wrong. They have excellent fat and your body does need good fat in certain amounts to keep running. So unless you are eating 4-6 eggs a day, please eat those yolks. This Eggwhite Frittata is to die for!

Eggwhite Frittata

Why an Eggwhite frittata you ask then? Because for some reason I like the flavour of roasted vegetables better with egg whites than whole eggs. Also you do need only egg white recipes for the days you bake those cakes which required the egg yolks and then if you are the kind who is still not convinced on the goodness of egg yolk and wants to eat the white or someone who has been medically advised to keep away from all fat, this is perfect for you. This amazingly low-calorie frittata is very quick – you can make it on a weekday morning but it looks so elegant that you can serve it to guests on a weekend brunch too.
