This Spinach Frittata makes the perfect “Mini Meal” since it has lean protein (egg whites,) veggies (spinach) and lots of flavor. It can be for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack.

I love it for brunch or late breakfast. It saves in the refrig well for easy reheat on busy mornings, too. It is so tasty and good for you!  For lunch or dinner, I’ll serve it with crunchy rolls and hearty soup.
