I used egg whites instead of whole eggs to lower the calories in this frittata. It contains green onions and fresh cilantro that add plenty of flavor so you wont miss the fat. The addition of edamame and fresh grated carrot makes this an unusual and very tasty breakfast dish.Nutritional Information
