To Make This Cheesy Spinach Bacon Frittata You will Need:

• extra light olive oil – Or substitute with avocado oil.
• onion – Use white, yellow or red onion.
• garlic – Adds distinct punchy flavor.
• kosher salt – Helps soften the onions and garlic while enhancing the flavors in this dish.
• bacon – To keep these on the lighter side, use center cut bacon. 
• spinach – Adds vitamins and nutrients and a pop of green.
• eggs – Help the frittata puff up when cooked.
• egg whites – Adds extra protein.
• shredded cheese – Makes this frittata extra delicious.
• freshly ground black pepper – Lends distinct bite and flavor.

Add oil to 8-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium to medium-low.

To that, add onion and garlic with a pinch of kosher salt. Stir and cook until soft and translucent.

Add the chopped cooked bacon and heat through.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add the baby spinach.

Use tongs to toss the spinach, cooking it down until the spinach is soft and wilted.

Pour in the beaten eggs.

And also the egg whites. Do not stir.

Top with freshly ground black pepper and the grated cheese.

Cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes or until set.

And there you have it!
