Sweet Potato Frittata - 1

This recipe can also be prepared from start to finish in a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet. However, an enameled cast iron baking dish, such as the Le Creuset® version shown here, makes for a nice presentation for a traditional Sunday brunch.

Ingredients

  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons half and half
  • 1 cup gouda cheese, shredded, divided
  • 2 cups fresh arugula or spinach
  • optional: Fresh parsley and basil, to serve

Instructions

  • Position top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a medium-sized baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

  • Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato, red pepper, onion, garlic powder, basil, and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.

  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper and onion soften and the sweet potato starts to develop a bit of color, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spread into a uniform layer and set aside.

  • While the vegetables cook, whisk together the eggs and half and half in a large bowl. Add half the Gouda cheese and stir to combine. Set aside.

  • Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat and toss in the arugula or spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the greens wilt, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and spread evenly on top of the other vegetables in the baking dish.

  • Pour the egg mixture on top and spread with a rubber spatula, if necessary, to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.

  • Place in pre-heated oven and bake until the egg is set and the top starts to turn golden brown, approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
