Lotta Frittata
- 1.5 cups julienned potatoes (packaged hash brown potatoes in the refrigerator section)
- 4 egg whites
- 2 whole eggs
- 4 tbsps. low fat ricotta cheese
- 4 tbsps. neufchatel cheese
- 2 green onions (diced, white parts only)
- 1/2 tsp. smoky/"hot" hungarian paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- low fat olive oil cooking spray (like Pam)
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. In a deep saute pan, over medium heat, lightly brown the julienned potatoes about 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites, the egg, and diced green onion together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once the julienned potatoes are ready, respray the pan with cooking oil. Then, pour the egg mixture into the saute pan to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes over medium heat, until the bottom of the "omelet" is lightly browned but the top is still slightly loose. Remove from heat and dot the top with ricotta and neufchatel cheese. Sprinkle paprika on top. Place the pan in the oven set at 275 degrees F to bake for an additional 7-9 minutes. Take it out of the oven and transfer the frittata to a plate to allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve or wrap.
