Red Pepper Frittata

Ingerdients:

• 1/2 cup water
•  1/3 cup uncooked couscous
•  1 tbsp water
•  3/4 tsp salt
•  1/4 tsp black pepper
•  4 large egg whites
•  3 large eggs
•  2 cups red bell pepper strips
•  1 cup of thinly sliced onions
•  2 garlic gloves minced
•  1/3 cup shredded cheese

Directions

•  Preheat oven to 350°
• Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil in a small sauce-pan; gradually stir in couscous.  Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 5 minutes.  Fluff with a fork
• Combine 1 tbsp of water, salt, black pepper and eggs in a bowl; stir with whisk
• heat a 10 inch oven proof nonstick skillet  over medium-high heat; spay.  Add bell pepper, onion and garlic; saute for 5 minutes.  Stir in couscous and eggs; cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until almost set.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until set.  Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

We didn't have an oven proof skillet so I cooked it in a regular skillet and transferred the egg mixture into a pie pan and then baked it in the oven.  This recipe serves 4 people.  Each slice contains 200 calories and 15 grams of protein!   This dish would also take good with broccoli or other veggies or meats that you like.
