Ingredients
-
3/4 cup All Whites Egg Whites Only
1 cup Crimini or Button Mushrooms, rustic slice or chopped
3 cups Baby Spinach
1/4 cup Bell Peppers, any color, chopped
1/4 cup Celery, chopped
1/4 cup Red Onion, chopped
1 Roma or Italian Tomato, chopped
1/2 ounce Chevre, or Soft Goat Cheese (optional - NOT included in Nutritional Info)
1/8 teaspoon Canola oil, from spray mister at various times
Directions
Serving size: one pie is intended to be one very generous serving. (May be served as 2, 3, or 4 servings, depending on whether intent is for it to be a main meal, side dish, or appetizer.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prep all vegetables and keep tomato and spinach separate to be added at different times.
Heat a large, 12-inch minimum skillet to medium or medium low heat. Mist with Canola oil. Add all vegetables, except for the tomato and spinach, and saute for 6 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Add seasonings, herbs, and spices; stir; cover, and let cook for about 6 minutes to release most of the moisture from the vegetables - stir once or twice.
Remove cover; add spinach and tomato and cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted and tomato is soft - about 4 minutes. The intent is to also evaporate as much moisture as possible. The large skillet may be removed from the burner at this time and set aside. Meanwhile heat an 8-inch oven-proof skillet to just above low heat. (Make sure the oven will be up to temperature by about this time.)
When the 8-inch skillet is up to temperature, mist it with Canola oil, and add the sauteed vegetable mixture into the skillet; even them out a bit. Pour the egg whites over the mixture and let cook for 7 minutes. The sides will be pretty much done, but the center may still be liquid; that is OK.
Put the skillet into the oven and let bake for 7 minutes; the center should now also be set.
Remove from oven; use a fork to "crumble" or spread the cheese (if using) across the top.
Let rest and cool somewhat for 8 minutes before serving.
