TRB is trying something a little different. Instead of the usual sweet treats, it’s time for a savory, but lighter dish. In the spirit of cutting calories, fat and cholesterol, but still using high quality, nutritious ingredients, here’s an adapted version of a recipe that originally appeared in Food Network’s January 2011 issue. By choosing low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat shredded cheese and using 2 egg whites in place of whole eggs, you can create a delicious frittata without the guilt. This is great served on its own or with a side of soup or salad.
Ready to give something savory a try?

10-12 sundried tomatoes, sliced

1/4 cup low-fat shredded Italian cheese blend (asiago, provolone, mozzarella, fontina, romano)
Extra cheese for sprinkling
