4. In a small bowl, beat eggs, cheese, and salt. Pour over the potato mixture in the pan.
5. Reduce heat and cook until set. Serve immediately.

Notes/Hints:

• Use Emmental or cheddar cheese, or your favorite
• Instead of using bacon, add about 4 tablespoons (15-19 grams) of real bacon bits. You may need to use extra butter.
• Instead of using onion, add about 1 teaspoon (1 gram) of dried chopped onion.
• When beating the eggs, cheese, and salt, try to beat in as much air as possible.
