01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to some paper towels to drain and cool for a few minutes, then break it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2
Next, melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Toss in the cauliflower, bell pepper, and green onions, cooking until they’re tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat and set the veggies aside.

Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, water, oregano, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture gets a bit frothy. Stir in the cooked bacon, mozzarella, mushrooms, Parmesan, tomato, and the sautéed veggies. Pour everything into your prepared baking dish.

Step 4
Pop it in the oven and bake until the frittata is set, which should take around 40 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is a great way to enjoy a protein-packed meal without the extra fat from yolks. It’s filled with colorful vegetables and crispy bacon, making it both nutritious and flavorful. Plus, it’s a light yet satisfying option for any time of day.
How to serve
Serve warm with a side of fresh mixed greens or a simple fruit salad. A slice of crusty whole grain bread or avocado toast pairs nicely for a complete meal. This dish also works well as a brunch centerpiece alongside fresh juice or coffee.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to keep the frittata moist and flavorful. You can also freeze portions for up to a month; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
