Ingredients

  • 1 small sweet potato about 6-8 oz.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 oz. pkg. baby spinach
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz. smoked gouda cheese shredded (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • Pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 450°F
  • Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. 
  • Set a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss in the sweet potato cubes along with the onion, red bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook stirring frequently until the sweet potato is soft, about 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and cook until it gets wilted then remove the pan from the heat. 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, 1/2 of the cheese, the thyme and red pepper flakes.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and return the skillet to the stove over medium heat. cook for about 2-3 minutes scraping the bottom and stirring until you see the eggs start to form some lumps but they should still be very wet. 
  • Sprinkle the remaining half of the cheese over the top and place the skillet in the oven. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes until the surface is slightly puffy and turns light brown. 
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. While it cools, the residual heat will continue to cook the frittata.
