Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

2 Sweet Potatoes
1 Onion
1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach

Dairy & Eggs

6 Small Eggs
1/2 cup Gruyère Cheese, grated

Oils & Seasonings

1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt, to taste
Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat and Sauté: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat the olive oil in a medium oven-proof frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until caramelized and golden brown, developing deep flavor, about 8-10 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Introduce the roasted sweet potatoes (pre-roasted or cooked beforehand) and fresh baby spinach to the pan with the caramelized onions. Stir gently to combine and allow the spinach to wilt slightly.
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and ground black pepper until well blended and slightly frothy. This will ensure a fluffy texture in the frittata.
Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients. Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the top.
Bake: Transfer the frypan to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or alongside a fresh side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

If you do not have pre-roasted sweet potatoes, you can roast peeled and diced sweet potatoes in the oven at 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes before using.
Gruyère cheese adds a nutty flavor, but you can substitute with cheddar or mozzarella if preferred.
Use an oven-proof skillet like cast iron or stainless steel to transfer directly to the oven safely.
For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheese substitute.
The frittata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
