Directions

To Make Cheese Sauce:

MELT butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
WHISK in flour. Cook mixture for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly add milk and keep whisking for 2 minutes until mixture is slightly thickened. Slowly add cheese, whisking until each addition blends into sauce.
STIR in salt, cayenne and herbs. Keep warm.

To Make Frittata:

HEAT olive oil and butter in an 8-inch, non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add vegetables and ½ teaspoon salt. Sauté until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add water, cover, and steam vegetables for 2 minutes.
PREHEAT broiler to high.
BEAT eggs, egg whites, ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper in a large bowl until foamy.
POUR egg mixture into pan with vegetables. Cook over medium-low heat until the eggs are set around the edges but the center is still wet, 3 to 4 minutes. Place skillet under broiler for 2 minutes until the frittata puffs up and turns a light golden brown.
REMOVE pan from oven and cool slightly. Cut frittata into 4 wedges and each with ¼ cup cheese sauce.
