Sweet Potato Chicken and Veggie Breakfast Frittata (Gluten-Free)
Prep 5 mins
Cook 25 mins
Serves 6

Ingredients

oil or butter for greasing skillet

  • 1 sweet potato cooked
  • 1 cup chopped greens swiss chard, kale, beet greens
  • 1 handful fresh herbs parsley or basil
  • 1 cup vegetables diced , we used onion and bell pepper.

½ cup chicken, bacon, sausage, or smoked salmon

  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk can replace with more eggs
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • salt pepper, cayenne

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

  1. Grease a cast-iron skillet (unless yours is very well seasoned) with oil or butter. Slice the sweet potato into very thin rounds and layer on bottom of skillet. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Top with greens & parsley, chicken, and chopped veggies.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parmesan cheese, and additional seasonings. Distribute evenly over the vegetables and meat in the skillet.
  3. Bake, uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until it looks mostly cooked. Remove from oven (or you could probably just turn off the oven), and cover with a lid for 5 minutes to make sure the eggs set on top!
  4. Wait at least 2 minutes before slicing or remove from skillet, then slice into wedges and serve. If freezing, wait until cool before wrapping and storing in freezer.
