Ingredients

  • 1 lb frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon nonfat milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon table salt, to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 2 ounces lean ham, cooked, finely chopped
  • 1/8 cup sweet red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/8 cup green pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese or 1/2 cup weight watchers shredded reduced-fat cheese

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Coat 8 muffin tin holes with cooking spray. Spread potatoes around bottom and press potato up sides of each muffin hole; place in oven and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat eggs and milk together in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add ham, peppers, onion and cheese to bowl; mix to combine.
  • Remove potatoes from oven (after cooking for 10 minutes) and press potatoes down firmly with a spoon so that they are spread out like mini piecrusts (potatoes should cover bottom and sides of each hole). Pour about 1/4 cup of egg mixture into the center of each muffin hole.
  • Return pan to oven and cook until potatoes are crisp and golden, and the egg mixture is set, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit about 5 minutes before serving. Yields 1 frittata per serving.
