Re: WW Brunch idea
First thing that comes to mind for me is a frittata. I haven't made any of these but they sound good! I might just use low-fat cheese instead of fat-free. Here is one example. If you have etools just search for fittata and it comes up with so many different kinds!
Spinach and Cheddar Frittata
Spinach and Cheddar Frittata
breakfast
POINTS® Value: 3
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 12 min
Cooking Time: 10 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
A few shortcuts like store-bought shredded cheese and a bag of pre-washed spinach (just rinse at home), make this frittata a tasty, simple meal.
Ingredients
4 large egg(s)
2 large egg white(s)
1 cup(s) spinach, fresh, baby leaves, chopped
2 tbsp scallion(s), finely chopped
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 spray(s) cooking spray
1/2 cup(s) shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
Instructions
* Preheat oven to 400°F.
* In a large bowl, beat together eggs and egg whites; stir in spinach, scallion, salt and pepper.
* Coat a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet and cook until partially set, about 5 minutes.
* Sprinkle cheese over eggs. Place skillet in oven and bake until cheese softens and eggs firm up, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 1 minute before cutting into 8 wedges. Yields 2 wedges per serving.

Asparagus, Bacon and Cheese Stratta
breakfast
POINTS® Value: 5
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 20 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Strattas make an excellent breakfast or brunch, and they give you the perfect opportunity to use up leftover vegetables, lean meats and day-old bread.
Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil, or vegetable oil
4 slice(s) uncooked turkey bacon, diced
1/2 cup(s) onion(s), diced
2 cup(s) asparagus, fresh, or frozen and thawed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 spray(s) cooking spray
6 slice(s) light whole wheat bread
4 large egg(s)
5 large egg white(s)
3/4 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, about 4 oz
Instructions
* Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add onion and asparagus; sauté until vegetable are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
* Preheat broiler.
* Off heat, coat same skillet with cooking spray. Arrange bread slices tightly in bottom of skillet.
* In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, mustard, salt and pepper; pour over bread and allow milk mixture to soak in entirely (like when you make French toast). Sprinkle bread with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
* Place skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook, shaking pan frequently to promote even cooking, until almost cooked through to the top, about 4 or 5 minutes.
* Place skillet under broiler to set eggs, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from broiler; top with bacon-vegetable mixture, cheddar cheese and remaining tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Place skillet under broiler again until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Slice into 6 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.
Notes
* If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, cover the handle with aluminum foil before broiling.
I have also made these and they are yummy! I used spice cake and it was perfect.
