Ingredients

  • 12 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 10 large eggs
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package (20 ounces) refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
  • 1/2 large sweet red pepper, julienned
  • 3 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Directions

  1. Place asparagus on an ungreased baking sheet; drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until tender, stirring once.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-in. ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and press down lightly. Cook, uncovered, until bottom is golden brown, 6-7 minutes. Drizzle with remaining oil; turn over.
  3. Pour egg mixture over potatoes. Cover and cook for 9-11 minutes or until nearly set. Arrange asparagus and red pepper over top. Sprinkle with basil and pepper jack cheese.
  4. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat until eggs are completely set, 2-3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges.
