1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, fi nely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fat-free egg substitute
½ cup hot cooked brown rice
2 dried fi gs, fi nely chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon dried thyme

Directions:

Preheat broiler. Heat oil in cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet and set over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

Whisk egg substitute in medium bowl until frothy; stir in onion mixture and all remaining ingredients.

Wipe skillet clean. Spray with nonstick spray and set over medium heat; pour in egg mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until set on bottom, about 10 minutes.

Broil frittata 5 inches from heat until top is set and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Slide frittata onto plate and cut into 4 wedges.
