Vegetable Frittata
- 3 large eggs, plus 3 egg whites
- 3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat cottage cheese
- 4 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped Kosher salt
- 1 16 -ounce package frozen mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots), thawed
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 scant teaspoon paprika

- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Whisk the whole eggs and whites in a bowl.
- Add the cottage cheese and whisk until almost smooth.
- Whisk in the gouda and rosemary.
- Cook the garlic in the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the onion, season with salt and cook 2 minutes.
- Add the vegetables, increase the heat to high and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium.
- Spread the egg mixture evenly in the pan.
- Cook, undisturbed, until a thin crust forms on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
- Run a rubber spatula around the edge to release the egg from the pan.
- Continue cooking until the bottom is golden, 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Sprinkle with the parmesan and paprika; transfer to the oven and bake until just set, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, cover and let sit, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cut into wedges and serve with the bread.
