PREP TIME: 5 minutes

COOKING TIME: 10 minutes

4 hashbrowns from frozen

Trader Joe’s Hashbrowns

1 tablespoon canola oil

3 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground

black pepper

1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Shredded

Pepper Jack Cheese Blend

A frittata is akin to an omelet, except the ingredients are mixed with the eggs instead of folded inside of them—and it’s a heck of a lot easier to make.

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Toast the hash browns in a toaster to defrost. Chop the hash browns into medium dice.

3. In an oven-safe nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the hash browns in a single layer, frying until slightly crisp on each side, 6 to 7 minutes total.

4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, place the eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix together with a fork or a whisk.

5. Pour the eggs on top of the hash browns, gently stirring with a spatula until the egg mixture has set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes.

6. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the top of the frittata is almost set and puffy. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue to bake until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Grains Blend

1 3/4 cups vegetable or

Greens, like spinach, are a superstar source of folate and vitamin B, which lead to better memory recall. Trader Joe’s Harvest Grains Blend is a hearty, tasty mix of Israeli couscous, baby chickpeas, orzo, and red quinoa that will keep you full and focused during a cram session.

1. In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

2. Add half the spinach, stirring until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the remaining spinach, stirring until wilted, about 1 minute longer.

3. Add the grains, stirring to coat with the oil. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring to combine with the grains. Add the salt and pepper, stir, and bring to a boil.

4. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper, as needed.
