This lovely, simple dish was inspired by my recent breakfast post - Courgette Brunch Nests with Turkish-Style Poached Eggs.
(Click HERE for recipe).
I realised that by using similar ingredients but substituting whole eggs for egg whites, I could easily create a zero propoint dish, giving scope to add some fresh bread or crackers to go with it, or just saving a few propoints on one of those 'tricky' days!

Add crushed or chopped garlic and chilli. Season well with herbs and black pepper.
Add chopped coriander, then pop into a hot frying pan misted with a little Frylight oil.
Beat the egg whites then pour over the vegetables. Allow to cook on the hob for 3-5 minutes then scatter with slices of tomato.
Once the underneath is cooked, place under a hot grill for a few minutes to cook the top. The vegetables should just be turning a lovely golden colour.
Slide the cooked frittata onto a serving plate and scatter with fresh basil leaves.
Serve on its own or with your chosen accompaniments.
I served this one as part of a delicious 'al fresco' brunch. We had chargrilled mushrooms, watermelon and feta cheese and WeightWatchers pita bread.
Each portion came to 4pp/approx.200kcal for the whole brunch.

TIP
Try making the frittata with other vegetables such as onions, mushrooms, leeks or a combination of your favourites. It's a great way to have a filling meal even if your propoint budget is not looking too good!
