cheesy hash browns, reduced fat (3 points)
Here is a quick, easy recipe that your teens can make or you can make and it won’t take a lot of your valuable morning time. Since it takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes total time, it can be made ahead the night before and warmed up in the morning.
INGREDIENTS
HASH BROWNS
2 medium russet potatoes, unpeeled, grated, about 1 pound
½ cups onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
HAM AND CHEESE MIXTURE
4 cups fat free shredded cheddar
½ pound turkey ham, cubed
EGG TOPPING
1 cup fat-free milk
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon salt
6 egg whites
DIRECTIONS
- Grate the potatoes with the skins on. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Put the olive oil into a non-stick or well cured skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and cook until they are nicely caramelized and browned
- Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper and cook until the potatoes are browned and tender.
- Spread the hash browns in a single layer in a greased 9×13 pan.
- Sprinkle with fat-free cheese and turkey ham.
- In a bowl, beat eggs, egg whites, milk, salt and mustard.
- Pour mixture over ham and cheese.
- Cover and bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
- Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until edges are golden brown and knife inserted near center comes out clean.
I like to use McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of just salt and pepper. It adds a garlic flavor to the potatoes.
