Ingredients
• Cooking spray
• 4 large eggs
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 / 3 cup low-fat milk
• 1 / 2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 / 4 teaspoon salt
• 1 / 4 teaspoon pepper
• 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach , thawed , drained , and squeezed until very dry
• 1 / 2 cup bottled roasted red bell peppers , drained , patted dry , and chopped
• 3 ounces soft goat cheese , crumbled
• 2 small , thinly sliced green onions
Directions Lightly spray the slow cooker with cooking spray .
In a large bowl , whisk together the eggs , egg whites , milk , oregano , salt , and pepper . Stir in the remaining ingredients . Pour into the slow cooker .
Cover and cook on low for 2 1 / 2 to 3 hours or until set ( the frittata shouldn ’ t jiggle when the slow cooker is gently shaken ). Don ’ t be alarmed by the liquid in the slow cooker when the frittata is done , and don ’ t drain it off . Let it stand to give the liquid time to absorb into the frittata , preserving its moisture and flavor . Then , using a wide spatula , gently lift the frittata out of the slow cooker . Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for another 5 minutes before slicing .
