Ingredients

2 slices turkey bacon

3 teaspoons olive oil

1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots

2 packages cups baby spinach

6 large eggs

2 large egg whites

1 tablespoon low-fat milk

1/8 teaspoon low-fat milk

Pinch salt

Pinch ground nutmeg

1/2 cup grated Gruyere

Preparation

Cook the bacon in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat until just crisp. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate wipe drippings from skillet. Crumble bacon.

Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and the shallots to skillet. Saute until soft and slightly golden, about 3 minutes.

Add the spinach and saute until wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Rinse and dry skillet.

Preheat the broiler. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, black pepper, salt, nutmeg, bacon, and 5 tablespoons of the Gruyere.

Return skillet to the stove. Add remaining olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring to distribute bacon. Arrange spinach and shallots over the top.

Reduce heat to medium low and cook, without stirring, until edges begin to set, about 3 minutes. Cover and continue cooking 5 minutes longer or until eggs are almost set.
