Bacon, Egg and Hash Brown Stacks
Bacon, Egg and Hash Brown Stacks
POINTS® Value: 4
Servings: 4
This is a nice twist on the usual potato and egg breakfast. Leave an extra "stack" in the refrigerator for a quick, microwave-reheatable meal.
2 spray(s) cooking spray
4 item(s) frozen hash brown potato patty, prepared without fat
2 large egg(s)
3 large egg white(s)
3 oz Canadian-style bacon, finely chopped
1 Tbsp scallion(s), minced, green part only
1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce, optional
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
8 tsp ketchup, hot and spicy variety (optional)
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place hash brown patties in skillet; cook over medium heat on first side until golden brown, about 7 to 9 minutes. Flip patties; cook until golden brown on second side, about 5 minutes more.
Meanwhile, coat a second large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-low heat. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, egg whites, bacon, scallion, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper; pour into prepared skillet and then increase heat to medium. Let eggs partially set and then scramble using a spatula. When eggs are set, but slightly glossy, remove from heat; cover to keep warm until hash browns are finished cooking.
To assemble stacks, place 1 hash brown patty on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/4 of egg mixture and serve with 2 teaspoons of ketchup. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired. Yields 1 stack per serving.
Notes
Finely diced turkey bacon makes a nice alternative to the Canadian bacon in this recipe. Just make sure to cook the bacon before adding it to the eggs (could affect POINTS values).
Red Pepper Egg-In-A-Hole
Adapted from Everyday Food Magazine
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 1 egg • Points: 2 ww pts
olive oil spray
1 bell pepper cut into 4 1/2" thick rings
4 large eggs
salt and fresh pepper
In a large nonstick skillet, heat on medium heat. When hot, spray olive oil spray, add pepper and let it cook a minute, then add egg into the center of the pepper. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the egg whites are mostly set but the yolks are still runny, 2-3 minutes. Gently flip and cook 1 more minute for over easy, longer if you like them over well.

ZIPLOC OMELETTES
ZIPLOC OMELETTES
Good when you're alone or when all your family is together. Best feature is that no one has to wait for their special omelette. Have guests write their name or initials on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. (We used sandwich size & it worked great.)
- Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
- Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheese, ham, onion, green
pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, black olives, etc.
- Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes.
- Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
- Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You
can usually cook 6-8 omelettes in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Keep it in a bit longer if you like them more well-done.
- Open the bags and the omelette will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.
- Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved
in the process and a great conversation piece.
Imagine having these ready the night before and putting the bag in
boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you have a nice
omelette for a quick breakfast!
Eggs are 2 points each - You need to count points for the ingredients you add.
