This is a quick and easy supper. Using egg whites only will make the texture of the frittata more rubbery.

  • Cover skillet, and cook 10 minutes; uncover. Cook, tossing mixture occasionally, until onion and potato are tender, about 5 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, parsley leaves, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  • Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from heat. Add remaining tablespoon oil to vegetables in skillet. Pour egg mixture into skillet.

  • Cook on stove, over low heat, lifting mixture a few times around the edges with a spatula to let egg flow underneath. Continue cooking until frittata is almost set in center, about 10 minutes.

  • Place skillet under broiler; broil until frittata is set and top is lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Run a clean spatula around edges to loosen, then slide frittata out onto a serving plate, and cut into wedges.

Cook's Notes

Extra yolks: To store (for custards or egg washes), place unbroken yolks in water in a covered container and refrigerate, up to 2 days. If you have no use for them, you can buy unprocessed pure egg whites in the dairy section at the market.

I have made this recipe twice. And love it. It is very easy. My husband couldn't tell that it doesn't have meat. I make it with Maui onions.

I made this and it came out great!I didn't have any fresh parsley or rosemary so I used dry and I can still taste the influences of both. I used a griddle to cook the potatoes and onions and then transferred them to the skillet with a little hot oil, added the mixture. It didn't take 10 mins for it to set though more like 5. And if you have a crazy broiler like mine cut the time in there in half. Good Stuff!

yes. use 5 whole eggs and an additional 5 egg whites. We love this in my family. I use fresh rosemary and slice the potato with a mandolin. It's good when I need something last minute. I put under broiler as directed.

ok I'm confused. Do I use 5 whole eggs and 5 egg whites, or just 5 whole eggs?

To sissinghurst. I know all the steps do make it appear to be a complicated recipe. But it's really not. Please make the recipe at least once. It's really delicious and is a great brunch dish. I think you'll be making it all the time, once you've mastered the steps.

To Rosemarieobrien. You're OK to use 3 whole eggs instead of the whites. It will be a very rich fritatta. Bon appetit!

Five plus eggs is too much for my husband and I too. I just used the following instead with tasty results: 2 eggs, 1/2 cup fat-free (skim) milk1/4 cup Bisquick Heart Smart mix and two tablespoons grated reduced fat Parmesan cheese, whipped together and poured over the potato, onion and spices prepared as above. I then baked the mixture in the frying pan at 400 degrees for 25 minutes and gave it a couple of minutes under a low broiler to brown the top more.

To Rosemarieobrien: Why would you want to substitute the egg whites since it is a good idea to use the combination and cut down on "some" cholesterol but it is my understanding that 2 egg whites normally equal 1 whole egg but you might want to double check in a cookbook to see if I am accurate. This is the system I have always used and it has not failed me in the meals I have made using this technique in reverse. My hubby had 6-way bypass heart surgery and his 5 brothers had it before him.

How many whole eggs can I use instead of 5 whole eggs and 5 whites.
