Who doesn’t love a hearty breakfast that’s as easy to make as it is delicious?
Enter the Sweet Potato, Leeks, and Greens Frittata – a mouthwatering dish that combines the goodness of sweet potatoes, the subtle flavor of leeks, and the nutrient-packed greens into one satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 leek, sliced thinly
- 2 cups of mixed greens (spinach, kale, or Swiss chard works great!)
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
Preheat your oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when you need it.
Prepare the vegetables: Heat some olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced sweet potato and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Then, add the sliced leeks and cook until they’re soft and slightly caramelized, another 5 minutes or so.
Finally, add the mixed greens and cook until they wilt, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Beat the eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with milk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine everything: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes until the edges start to set.
Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the middle and slightly golden on top.
Serve: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
