ingredients
Butter-flavored cooking oil spray
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps sliced
6 ounces asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
5 large egg whites
1 large egg
3 tablespoons fat-free soy milk or milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
preparation
Heat an ovenproof, slope-sided, 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Coat with cooking oil spray. Add mushrooms and asparagus; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat broiler. In a medium bowl, beat together egg whites, egg, milk, 1 tablespoon of the dill, the salt, and pepper. Stir in smoked salmon; pour mixture into skillet over vegetables; mix well. Press vegetables down into an even layer under the egg mixture. Cook without stirring until eggs are set on bottom, about 4 minutes (center will be wet). Transfer to broiler; broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 2 minutes or until eggs are set. Cut into wedges. Drop spoonfuls of sour cream on wedges, and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon dill over frittata before serving.
substitutions: Crimini mushrooms may replace the shiitake mushrooms, but with some loss of flavor; lox that is not salty may replace smoked salmon.
tips: This dish keeps well. If there is any left over, take it on a picnic or have it for a snack.
