Good, Solid Recipe

To make the breakfast preparation even faster and easier, you can sauté the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic the night before.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 frittatas)

Ingredients

  • 3/4  pound  small red potatoes (about 6)
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2  cup  chopped onion
  • 1/2  cup  chopped red bell pepper
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
  • 4  bacon slices, cooked and crumbled (drained)
  • 1 3/4  cups  egg substitute
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and cook 25 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool slightly. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

Preheat oven to 375°.

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in potato, cheese, and bacon.

Combine egg substitute, salt, and black pepper. Spoon vegetable mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups or 6-ounce ramekins coated with cooking spray. Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetable mixture. Bake at 375° for 18 minutes or until set. Remove from muffin cups, and cool slightly.

These sounded better than they were. This recipe was too time-consuming for breakfast for my hungry family. These turned out edible, but I would not make again.02/01/10

After reading other reviews, I have determined that more short cuts are necessary for this. I haven't made it yet, but when I do I will use the O'Brien style frozen hash browns and cook them for a couple of minutes in the microwave before putting in the cups. The onion and peppers are already to go and will save having to chop it all up. Will also take previous review advice and use a more flavorful cheese. Will be making this soon.01/13/10
