Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup hash brown potatoes (frozen )
  • ½ cup onion (chopped )
  • ½ cup green pepper (chopped )
  • 1 cup egg substitute (e.g., Egg Beaters)
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ tsp hot sauce
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Skillet

  • Spray a 10-inch skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat.

Step 2: Cook Potatoes

  • Add potatoes, spread evenly in the skillet, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add Vegetables

  • Remove cover and stir. Add onion and green pepper. Cover and cook another 5 minutes.

Step 4: Mix Eggs

  • In a bowl, mix egg substitute with Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt.

Step 5: Combine Mixtures

  • Pour egg mixture over the potato mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat until the egg is nearly set.

Step 6: Add Cheese

  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook until cheese is melted and eggs are fully set.

Step 7: Serve

  • Cut into 4 wedges and serve warm.

Tips

  • Use a nonstick 10-inch skillet to help the frittata release cleanly.
  • Substitute whole eggs for egg beaters (about 4 large eggs) if preferred.
  • Add cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for a heartier version.
  • Use red or yellow bell peppers for sweeter flavor.
  • Try Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
  • Add fresh herbs such as parsley or chives before serving.
  • For a spicier frittata, increase the hot sauce or add diced jalapeño.
  • Finish under a broiler briefly (oven-safe pan only) for a lightly browned top.
  • Serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
