This tasty breakfast dish is a snap to make with convenient frozen hash browns. It gets its colorful look and fresh flavor from broccoli, red pepper and green onions. I take this egg dish to all of our church brunches and bring home an empty skillet every time. -Cynthia Hinkle, Front Royal, Virginia

Ingredients

1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper

In a 9-in. or 10-in. skillet coated with cooking spray, saute the broccoli, red pepper and onions until crisp-tender. Add ham and hash browns. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
In a bowl, whisk the egg substitute and pepper. Pour over vegetable mixture (mixture should set immediately at edges).
As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set; remove from the heat.

I prepared this dish this morning and it was an instant hit. I had all the ingredients except the broccoli so I left it out. I downsized the recipe slightly for just my husband and myself. It is quick and easy and delicious. I will definitely prepare this again. Here is the link to my review and photos: http://community.tasteofhome.com/community_forums/f/30/p/888529/7680844.aspx#7680844
