Green frying peppers, also known as Cubanelles, are long, thin, and banana shaped. They have a mild sweet flavor and are easy to digest.
¼ cup olive oil
3 green frying peppers, seeded and chopped (about ¾ pound)
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 large potato, cooked and cubed
1 package (5 ounces) baby spinach
3 eggs
3 egg whites
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
1. In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Cook the peppers and onion for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the peppers are softened. Add the potato and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the spinach, in batches, and cook for 3 minutes, or until wilted.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg whites, water, and salt until well blended.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, stirring to combine. Cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, or until the mixture just begins to set.
5. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake for 15 minutes, or until set. Cut into 4 wedges.
