Zonya's breakfast casserole

Here is my favorite breakfast casserole recipe.  It is from Zonya Foco's cookbook.

Preheat oven to 375
spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray
Makes 8 servings
1 bag (24oz) frozen ore ida potatoes o'brien (hash browns with onions and peppers)
1 c reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
4 oz lean ham or canadian bacon or lowfat smoked sausage
4 whole eggs
8 egg whites
1/4 c skim milk
1/4 c dijon mustard
1/2 tsp thyme
40 grinds fresh ground pepper

Place the frozen potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.  Break up large chunks.  Cut the meat into small chunks.  Sprinkle the meat and cheese over the potatoes.  In a small bowl, whip eggs, egg whites, milk, mustard and thyme with a fork.  Pour evenly over the potato mixture.  Top casserole with pepper.   Place in oven uncovered and set timer for 45 minutes.
Serve with toasted english muffins and fresh fruit.

1 cup casserole has 165 calories, 4.5 grms fat and 2 grms fiber.

I like to make some and eat the leftovers the rest of the week, at that calorie amount I can have two servings with no remorse.   It is fantastic with just a little bit of ketchup.

Quick and easy roasted potatoes

Red or white potatoes for as many as you want to serve.  I prefer red.

Olive oil

Kosher Salt

Fresh ground Pepper



Cut potatoes into fourths, place onto large roasting pan or baking (cookie) sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil a pinch or two of salt and ground pepper to taste.  Mix on the baking sheet and roast at 450 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.  Or until potatoes are tender.  My daughter who hates potatoes loves these!
