The cafeteria at Frank's work serves Weight Watchers meals (complete with points already figured), and he told me about a WW potato fritatta he had last week for lunch. So I decided to adapt it into an omelet for breakfast today.
I took one large russet potato and baked it last night, then put it in the fridge. This morning I cut it up and fried it in a pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, with about 8 tbsp of chopped onion. The onion was 0 points and the potato was 1.5 points because Frank & I split it.
In a separate pre-heated pan, (also sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) I used 1 cup of Egg Beaters for each of us. (2.5 points) Once the egg part was cooked, I piled 1/2 of the potato onion mixture on one half of the egg, and I topped it with 2 ounces of Cabot 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese. (the cheese was 3 points and was actually a bit much - half that amount would have sufficed, so next time I'll just use one ounce for 1 point)
Then I folded it over and slid it onto the plate. I served it with a light, multi-grain english muffin (1 point) and used 1/2 tbsp of light smart balance (made with olive oil!) on each half of the muffin for 1 point. So, all told, a delicious and VERY hearty 9 point breakfast. (and next time, since I'll be using less cheese, it will only be a 7 point breakfast)
