With the holidays coming up, I wanted to make a dish that wasn’t filled with way too many calories as some holiday foods can be.  I figured with all of the baking I do this time of year, all of the delicious recipes I make for Christmas dinner, I should have a healthier brunch recipe for us to eat. 

This Delicious Sweet Potato Oven Baked Frittata fits that bill, and is a change from using white potatoes.  Frittatas are wonderful for using up vegetables that may be nearing their expiration dates. You can make them meatless, as this one is or you can add sausage, ham, or bacon.  Add some black beans for extra health benefits.  Perfect for any meal of the day. I like to serve it for dinner with a side salad for Meatless Mondays.

How to Make This Sweet Potato Frittata

Use sweet potatoes to make this delicious frittata.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a medium-sized baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cook, occasionally stirring until the pepper and onion soften and the sweet potato starts to develop a bit of color, approximately 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spread into a uniform layer and set aside.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat and toss in the arugula or spinach. Cook, occasionally stirring, 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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
