Ingredients
- 1 6.5-oz. jar oil-marinated artichoke hearts, drained, oil reserved
- 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 3/4 tsp. salt, divided
- 6 large eggs
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tsp. dried tarragon
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 15-oz. jar roasted red peppers, rinsed and drained
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice artichoke hearts lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Set aside.
2. Coat large ovenproof nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and add 1 Tbs. reserved oil from artichokes. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and 1/4 tsp. salt; sauté 5 to 7 minutes, or until mushrooms are browned. Add artichokes, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.
3. Whisk together eggs, egg whites, and tarragon, and season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture into pan, rearranging artichokes and mushrooms, if necessary. Cook 3 minutes, or until frittata bottom is set.
4. Transfer skillet to oven, and bake 8 minutes, or until frittata is set in center.
5. Meanwhile, purée red peppers in food processor until smooth.
6. Using heat-proof spatula, loosen frittata from skillet. Slide frittata out onto platter. Cut into 4 wedges. Serve each wedge with 1 Tbs. red pepper purée.
