Scrambled Omelet With Potatoes
    Ingredients
  • 2 baking potatoes, medium
  • ½ bell pepper, green, medium
  • 1 onion, yellow
  • 1 tomato, medium
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup liquid egg substitute
  • 2 fluid ounces milk, fat-free
  • 2 ounces cheddar cheese, low-fat
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    Preparation:
  • Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly and pierce each with a fork. Wrap loosely in paper towels and microwave on high for 7 minutes, turning over after 4 minutes.
  • Wash and chop bell pepper, onion, and tomato. Set aside.
  • Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Sauté pepper and onion over medium-high heat until they begin to soften.
  • When potatoes finish cooking, chop, and add to the sauté.
