Ingredients

  • 2 T. extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • ½ medium red onion diced
  • ½ t. garlic powder
  • 1 t. dried basil
  • 1 t. dried parsley
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 T. half & half
  • 1 c. gouda cheese shredded, divided
  • 2 c. fresh arugula or spinach

Instructions

  • The first thing you must do before turning on your oven is to move the top oven rack to the center position in the oven and then preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray your cooking dish with non-stick spray. I love cooking my frittatas in a cast iron skillet so I just use one skillet for everything, however, either method will work below.
  • Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in all of the ingredients EXCEPT the eggs and the half and half. Stir everything together to combine.
  • While stirring occasionally, cook until the pepper and the onion soften and the sweet potato starts to develop a bit of color; approximately 5 - 6 minutes.
  • While the vegetable mixture is cooking, whisk together the eggs and half & half in a large bowl. Add in half of the gouda and stir to combine and set aside.
  • Once the mixture is done, remove the skillet from the heat and transfer everything into the baking dish. Spread the mixture out into an uniform layer and set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil into the same skillet and toss in the spinach and cook, over medium heat until the greens start to wilt. Then remove that from the heat and spread everything on top of the other vegetables.
  • And lastly pour the the egg mixture on top of the other ingredients and spread with a rubber spatula to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Place the baking dish into the oven and bake until the egg starts to set and the top turns golden brown; approximately 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool slightly before slicing.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, tomatoes, green onions and serve immediately.
