2. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and stir in the spinach and ricotta cheese; season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Fold in the egg whites. Pour the mixture into the hot skillet and cook over medium heat until just set around the edges, about 2 minutes.

This recipe's vegetables can be added to or switched out. I've had a lot of success with adding baby portabellas and scattering them all over the top before putting it in the oven. Delicious!
