Ingredients

  6 cup(s) uncooked bliss potatoes, baby-variety (about 12 oz)   
  9 oz fresh spinach, baby-variety (about 1 1/2 cups after cooking)   
1 cup(s) part-skim ricotta cheese   
  2 large egg(s), beaten   
2 Tbsp chives, fresh, chopped   
6 slice(s) uncooked Canadian-style bacon, quartered   
1 cup(s) low fat shredded cheddar cheese   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place muffin liners in a 12-hole muffin tin.

  • Wash and steam potatoes until just done or slightly underdone, about 10 to 15 minutes; cool immediately. Slice each potato into four rounds; set aside.

  • Wash and steam spinach until just wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes; cool, drain well, squeeze out any remaining water and set aside.

  • In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs and chives.

  • Place a middle slice of potato in the bottom of each muffin hole so it lays flat. Top each with a quarter-slice of bacon, 1 heaping teaspoon of ricotta cheese mixture, about 2 tablespoons of spinach, about a tablespoon of cheddar cheese, another bacon quarter, and another heaping teaspoon of ricotta mixture. Finish stacks by placing remaining potato slices on top and sprinkling with a few remaining shreds of cheese.

  • Bake stacks until fully set and ricotta is cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in muffin tins for about 10 to 15 minutes and then transfer to racks to continue cooling. Yields 1 stack per serving.

Notes

  • These stacks can be prepared ahead of time and then reheated in the microwave or served cold. Make them vegetarian by salting the potatoes and replacing the Canadian bacon with roasted red pepper or asparagus, or both.

Took several suggestions and used thawed hash browns to make cups for the eggs. Added a couple tablespoons of garlic and onion powder, pepper, and salt to the cups but they will need a LOT more - potato was very bland. Also added two eggs to the potato to make them stick together better-worked well. I also chose to mix all the ingredients together rather than layer. Forgot the cheddar and added Italian seasoning to eggs - reduced to 2 points each. Will make again with more tweeks.

This is a nice breakfast on the go. I used turkey bacon instead of canadian bacon since I don't eat pork, still delicious.

I really liked them and added some mushrooms to give it more veggies. You could also add tomato to make it more like a florentine style egg.
