Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely snipped fresh chives

  • 6 ounces thinly sliced, lower-sodium cooked honey ham, chopped

  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

  • 8 eggs, lightly beaten

  • ½ cup fat-free milk

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan cook broccoli in boiling, lightly salted water 3 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again.

  2. Coat a 2-quart rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. Add potatoes and chives to prepared dish; toss to combine. Top with broccoli, ham, and cheese.

  3. In a medium bowl combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour egg mixture over potato mixture. Cover with foil and chill overnight.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
