Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup diced sweet potatoes
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure an oven-safe 10-inch skillet is ready for use.
- Dice the sweet potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Cook bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces once cooled.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, sauté diced onions until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add diced sweet potatoes to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Spread sweet potatoes and onions evenly across the skillet, then pour whisked eggs over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon pieces evenly across the surface of the egg mixture.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot directly from the skillet.
Tips
- Use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven.
- Ensure sweet potato cubes are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Don't rush the bacon cooking process—crispy bacon adds incredible texture and flavor.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, creating a lighter, fluffier frittata.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after baking to allow it to set completely.
- For extra richness, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese like sharp cheddar or gruyère.
- Experiment with herbs like fresh thyme or chives to elevate the flavor profile.
