Reid's Favorite Green Chili & Potato Frittata image

My husband and I are addicted to fresh green chilis...especially when they are in season. We eat them with everything and are always searching for ways to build new recipes. This was a surprise breakfast one morning that was made a few more times until I got it just right. The recipe is very healthy - low cal, low fat, some fiber....but you can make it with full-fat ingredients if desired.

Time 30m

Yield 1 frittata, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large yukon gold potato, sliced thinly
4 slices Canadian bacon, sliced into thin strips
3 new mexico green chilies, roasted, peeled, seeded, and sliced into thin strips
2 scallions, diced
1 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2%
2 tablespoons cream cheese, Plain, Fat Free
2 tablespoons parmiggiano cheese, fresh strips
salt
pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat skillet over medium high heat, spray on cooking spray, and layer Potatoes. Season with Salt and Pepper. Cook until they start to brown. DO NOT BURN!
  • Lower the Heat to Medium.
  • Add the scallions, green chilis, canadian bacon, and parmiggiano cheese (use a potato peeler to make thin strips). Add a bit more salt and pepper to season to your taste. Cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the canadian bacon.
  • Drop the Cream Cheese in randomly across the pan by teaspoon full. Toss the mixture to incorporate all ingredients.
  • Add Egg Substitute and Cheddar Cheese. Lower Heat to Medium Low. Cook for about 3-4 minutes while the egg begins to set on the bottom. Place the Pan in a 375 degree oven for about 10 more minutes until egg is fully set.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.
  • I would recommend serving with a cheddar cheese sauce, but we are trying to keep it healthy these days. Also, I'd love to try it with butter (instead of the non-stick cooking spray), real eggs, and full fat cheeses.

This frittata was a disaster. It fell apart when I tried to flip it.

I had trouble getting the frittata to cook evenly. The top was browned but the bottom was still runny.

This frittata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

This frittata was a hit with my family! The green chiles added a nice kick of flavor, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.
