All breakfast meals in a single hearty, tremendous scrumptious dish. It tastes so luxuriously wealthy. Good for breakfast, brunch, and even dinner! It’s really easy to make since utilizing shredded frozen hash browns. I’m additionally including bacon cooked on paper towels within the microwave to take away many of the fats. As well as, the fat-free cottage cheese and bitter cream actually add to the richness of this dish. You’ll be able to freeze the leftovers for a fast weekday meal. Every skinny serving has 230 energy, and 4 grams of fats. A particular keeper!

Every time a recipe requires utilizing eggs, I LOVE Eggland’s Greatest eggs!!! They’ve much less saturated fats, much less ldl cholesterol, extra Vitamin D, extra Vitamin E, and double the Omega 3 than common eggs. Most supermarkets see them within the egg aisle.
I not too long ago found unbelievable bacon. It’s known as Applegate Farms Pure Sunday Bacon. It’s low in fats and energy, uncured, and incorporates no nitrites! Many supermarkets carry this model. I purchased it at Vons/Safeway and Complete Meals. Right here’s the hyperlink to their web site: http://www.applegate.com/merchandise/natural-sunday-bacon
Earlier than discovering this more healthy bacon, I had combed the grocery store cabinets in search of one of many leanest common bacon selections and Oscar Meyer Middle Lower Bacon is my favourite, in comparison with most common bacon. It’s a lot decrease in fats and energy, 3 slices comprise 70 energy and 4.5 grams of fats. As soon as cooked on paper towels, many of the fats soaks into the paper, not within the bacon, so the fats is additional reduce down. In my Skinny Information, I subtracted out the fats that’s left on the paper towels!
Frozen Hash Brown potatoes are bought in most supermarkets. They comprise no fats, simply shredded potatoes. I used Ore Ida’s frozen plain shredded hash browns. One serving (1¼ cups) has 70 energy, 0g fats, 10g carbs, 1g protein, 0.6g fiber, 0g sugar, 12mg sodium
