Ham and Apple Skillet Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 35 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

15 35 50

Ingredients

3 cups frozen O'Brien potatoes, thawed
1 large apple, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 to 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
2 tablespoons water
1 cup diced fully cooked lean ham
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Press potatoes between paper towels to remove moisture; set aside. In a nonstick ovenproof skillet, cook the apple, onion and sage in water over medium heat until apple and onion are tender. Stir in potatoes and ham; heat through. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and salt; pour over potato mixture (do not stir). Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 6 servings.
