Paleo Sweet Potato and Egg Frittata


Sorry I haven't posted for a week, I've been busy figuring out a time to go visit my husband!!! We've decided on a weekend in November, and I absolutely can't wait! It's hard to believe that he graduated boot camp a month and a half ago already... words cannot describe how proud of him I am : )

This recipe is created purely out of laziness and convenience. It is kind of the "kitchen sink" of what I had at the time all thrown together. The beauty of these types of these types of recipes though, is that you don't end up throwing away a whole bunch of stuff and your end product turns out to be pretty darn good! Just remember, the following ingredients is just what I had in my fridge, so check out what's in yours and substitute accordingly!

Paleo Sweet Potato and Egg Frittata

Ingredients: 

9 Eggs
1 Sweet Potato
1-2 lbs MOC (meat of choice... for example, I had ground chicken, so that's what I used)
1/2 Yellow Onion
2 Green Peppers
1 Tomato
Spinach
Seasoning (your choice)

Directions: 


  1. Preheat oven to 375F
  2. Slice/chop all veggies and sweet potatoes.... this prep will make everything easier...just slice and chop and get it done!
  3. Get a mixing bowl and whisk all eggs together and leave it to wait for the rest of the ingredients
  4. Fry up your meat in a bit of olive oil... your meat should either be done all the way or almost done (the rest will bake in the oven). When your meat is done cookin' , dump into your whisked eggs
  5. Saute your sweet potatoes... The ground chicken I had on hand was ground with apples, allspice, cinnamon and clove... so I seasoned my sweet potatoes with a bit of cinnamon to add to this dish's savory flare. Once these are done, dump into egg/meat mixture
  6. Saute peppers and onions, and again, dump into the above mixture
  7. Add your chopped tomatoes in the mixture last
  8. Mix everything up and pour into baking dish (make sure that ingredients are spread out evenly). At this point, I added just a light dusting of cinnamon on top (again, adding to the savory taste). Scatter your chopped spinach on top and throw in the oven! Bake at 375F for about 25-30 minutes... YUMMY!




This is a great meal to prepare ahead of time and eat throughout the week! I made mine to use as my breakfast.... I'll be putting up some more "lazy" recipe's this week, because let's face it, we all don't have the time to spend in the kitchen making fancy meals!!!
