Egg White Frittata with Goat Cheese & Red Pepper

Breakfast.
This colourful frittata uses egg whites instead of whole eggs, so it’s very low in saturated fat and calories and virtually cholesterol-free. This dish makes for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. I also like to use roasted red pepper in this recipe - it goes well with the goat cheese.
