Swiss Chard and Spinach Frittata

Frittata. Such a fun word to say. It is also a surprisingly interesting way to customize the everyday egg. Well the everyday egg beater and egg white. Yes, I used egg beaters. First off, we have a surplus at my house for some strange reason even though I eat egg whites while the minions and parents eat normal eggs. So I had to use up this mystery food before it would have to be thrown away. Wasting food is always a no no.

Anyways, this was supposed to be posted earlier but there was some internet issues that were not resolved until mummy dearest saved the day the next morning. Thankfully a kind soul invented smart phones because I could still peruse the interwebs to my millenial content.

Side note: Originally supposed to be only swiss chard but grandmama decided to pilfer some of my swiss chard, so spinach was used as a partial substitute.

Swiss Chard and Spinach Frittata

Ingredients

4 eggs or 1 cup of egg beaters

4 egg whites

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used Kroger's fat free)

1/2 bunch swiss chard (3 cups when cut up)

1/2 bunch spinach (3 cups when cut up)

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tbsp light butter (yup, I used butter y'all)

10. Add in the leaves and cook until wilted.
