Potato and Pepper Fritatta


Serves 6 and only 182 calories!

Here's the recipe:

Egg beaters - .5 Cup
Eggs - 4
Extra virgin olive oil - 3 TBSP
Green peppers - .5 Cup chopped
Red peppers - .5 Cup chopped
Red onion- .2 Cup diced
Fresh Rosemary - 1 TBSP
Fresh Thyme - 2 tsp
Fresh Parsley - 1 TBSP
Fat free half and half - 1/4 Cup
Light Cream cheese - 2 TBSP (must be room temp)
Baby Swiss - 2 Slices cubed

I used the old cast iron skillet for this one. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Add two TBSP extra virgin olive oil to skillet and saute the peppers and onions. Add in one diced potato and another TBSP of oil. Salt and pepper to taste. While that cooks through (stir often) mix egg beaters, eggs, little salt and pepper, half and half, rosemary and thyme. Add in cream cheese and whisk until blended. Once potatoes are softened pour mixture over. Stir through a little, like you were making scrambled eggs. You're just trying to make sure there is even coverage on the bottom. Sprinkle parsley and swiss over the top. When the sides of the fritatta start to pull away from the skillet put in the oven. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. Check on it! You are looking for the top to be cooked, no loose egg on top. After cooking let it sit for a few minutes before cutting. Serve with half of the Simple Salad. With salad only 242 calorie meal!! Without 182. Enjoy!!
