Ingredients

8 slices turkey bacon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup frozen cauliflower
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 cup liquid egg whites
0.25 cup water
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (6 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 medium tomato, chopped

Method

Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square metal baking dish.
Cook the turkey bacon slices in a large skillet, turning them now and then, until they are browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool for about 5 minutes, then break them into small pieces.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the frozen cauliflower, chopped red bell pepper, and finely chopped green onions, cooking them until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat and set the vegetables aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the liquid egg whites, water, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture becomes foamy. Mix in the broken bacon, shredded mozzarella cheese, canned mushroom pieces, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped tomato, and the cooked vegetable mixture. Transfer this combined mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake until the frittata is fully set, about 40 minutes.
