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.

Sweet Potato Frittata
4
servings15
minutes40
minutesIngredients
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!
