Hashbrown Omelet

This recipe is the first in a series on "A Month of Meal Plans and Groceries in 30 Minutes." - link HERE

We shop for a month at a time, for more explanation on how we do this see the above blog post link. It saves a ton of time, money, and calories from buying off plan items. I will also be sharing with you a week of my eating and how I plan these recipes into my diet.

This recipe is one of my favorites. Both my kids and my husband like it too. It is easy to make for a crowd and just as easy to make for one. It also reheats well, so you could make a batch for your whole work week of breakfast.

Hashbrowns Omelet

Serves 1

Ingredients
0.75 cup shredded potatoes (can use dehydrated potatoes)
2 oz deli ham, cut into ribbons (could sub turkey too)
1/4 cup cheese (I used cheddar)
0.75 cup liquid egg whites or egg beaters

Directions:
If using dehydrated potatoes (which is what I use), soak potatoes in an equal amount of hot water as potatoes for 15 minutes. Spray a small skillet with nonstick spray and lay out your hashbrowns in an even layer. Cook over medium heat until potatoes are golden, about 7 minutes. Flip potatoes and cook for about 5 more minutes. Then add ham, cheese, and egg whites on top of  hashbrowns. Cover and cook about 2 minutes until egg whites are set. Flip out onto plate and enjoy. I like to top mine with a little ketchup too! Just be sure to count it in your macros.


Scaling this recipe up for oven- you can also scale this recipe up and cook it like a casserole, just multiply the ingredients by the amount of servings that you need. I found a 6" round pan is perfect for 1 serving, an  8x8" pan works great for 2 servings, and a 13x9" works well for 4 servings.

Directions: Preheat oven to 450*F. Spray pan with nonstick spray. Cook hashbrowns in a single layer for 10-15 minutes until golden. Top with ham, cheese, and egg whites. Cook another 5-10 minutes until egg is set.
