Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 tbsp | Butter |
| 2/3 cup | Diced red onion |
| 2/3 cup | Whole kernel corn |
| 1 | Jalapeรฑo pepper, diced |
| 4 | Eggs |
| 6 | Egg whites |
| 1/3 cup | Fresh cilantro, chopped |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 tsp | Ground black pepper |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your broiler. Coat a large skillet, preferably oven-safe, with non-stick spray.
-
-
Sautรฉ Aromatics: Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and sizzle before adding in the diced red onions. Sautรฉ them until they turn translucent and fragrant, which should take about 3 minutes.
-
Add Corn and Peppers: Next, introduce the whole kernel corn and diced jalapeรฑo peppers into the skillet. Stir them in with the onions and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: While the veggies are cooking, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until they are lightly beaten and well combined.
-
Combine and Cook: Once the veggies are tender, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it gently to ensure even distribution. Cook the frittata for approximately 5 minutes, using a spatula to gently lift the edges of the egg mixture as it sets.
-
Broil to Perfection: When the bottom of the frittata is set but the top remains slightly moist, remove the skillet from the heat. Place it under the broiler for about 1 minute or until the top of the frittata turns a gorgeous golden hue.
-
Serve with Flair: Carefully loosen the edges of the frittata from the skillet using a spatula, then slide it onto a serving plate. Cut it into wedges, like slices of sunshine, and serve immediately.
