Ingredients
Serves: 4
Serving Size: 1/4 frittata
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups frozen fat-free potatoes O’Brien, thawed
- 6 oz small broccoli florets, rinsed in cold water, drained, but not dried (some water droplets should cling to the broccoli)
- 8 large egg whites
- 1 large egg
- 4 oz lower-sodium, low-fat ham (uncured, nitrate/nitrite-free), cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup fat-free milk
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Lightly spray a medium ovenproof skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Remove from the heat. Put the potatoes in the skillet. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Put the broccoli in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave, covered, on 100% power (high) for 3–4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain in a colander. Stir the broccoli into the potatoes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and egg. Whisk in the ham, milk, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and broccoli, stirring well.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the eggs are set (they don’t jiggle when the frittata is gently shaken).
