Quick Veggie Frittata

  • 1 1/4 c shredded frozen hash browns
  • 2/3 c shredded or grated carrot
  • 1/4 c chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 c egg substitute
  • 1/4 c low-fat milk
  • 1/8 tsp dry mustard
  • Two dashes hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese


In a microwave-safe 1-quart casserole dish, combine potatoes, carrot, onion, parsley and oil. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 90 seconds. Add salt and pepper.

In mixing bowl, combine eggs, egg substitute, milk, mustard and hot pepper sauce by beating on medium speed for a minute or two. Pour egg mixture into casserole dish and stir to combine with potato mixture.

Cover dish and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Draw cooked egg toward the middle of dish and the liquid egg toward the edges and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes more. Sprinkle cheese on top, and microwave until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds more. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
