Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 cups diced sweet potato (14 ounces/2 small-medium potatoes)
- 3 cups roughly chopped asparagus (315 grams)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 ounces goat cheese (about 3/4 cup crumbled)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- for topping – avocado, fresh parsley, sliced green onions, hot sauce…
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a large enameled cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat it up. Add the diced sweet potatoes, along with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Spread them out in a single layer and let cook without stirring for 6-8 minutes. Then stir and cook for another 6-8 minutes, occasionally stirring.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, along with the chopped asparagus, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and more salt and pepper. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus is cooked but still al dente.
- While the asparagus is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in approximately 2/3 of the crumbled goat cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are firm.
- Slice the frittata into 6 pieces and serve, topped with avocado, fresh parsley, sliced green onions, or hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Feel free to customize the toppings to your taste—avocado or hot sauce add great flavor!
Make sure to let the frittata cool a bit before slicing for neat pieces.
This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
