Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups diced cooked new potatoes
  • 2 cups fat-free egg substitute or 8 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup lean diced ham
  • 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Equipment

  • 10-inch ovenproof skillet
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Coat a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Add onion, green bell pepper, and diced ham to the skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add the diced cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 1 minute to heat the potatoes through.
  4. Reduce heat to low and pour the egg substitute evenly over the mixture. Cover and cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes, or until eggs are almost set but still slightly jiggly on top.
  5. While the frittata cooks, preheat the broiler and wrap the skillet handle in aluminum foil to protect it from the heat.
  6. Once eggs are nearly set, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Place the skillet under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the broiler and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing into wedges to serve.

Notes

This frittata is incredibly versatile - feel free to substitute the ham with bacon, sausage or leftover chicken. You can also add any vegetables you need to use up like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture before cooking.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave for a quick meal.
