Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 ounces fresh spinach
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (any kind)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or Gruyere)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch pie plate or oven-safe skillet.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potato and cook until slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until it wilts down completely. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread the cooked vegetable mixture evenly in the bottom of your prepared pie plate or skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can substitute sweet potato with regular potato, but cooking time may vary slightly.
Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
