Breakfast

Caramelised Onion and Sweet Potato Frittata

I love eggs for breakfast. They're nutritious, rich in protein, versatile and delicious! Whether it be fried sunny-side up, scrambled, poached or in an omelette. But sometimes I want my eggs to be a bit more exciting, and that's where frittata comes in. Any leftover veggies? Throw them in. Any sad wilting greens in the back of the fridge? Throw them in. The options and flavour combinations are endless. Not to mention the amount of skin-loving nutrients you can pack in. Here I have chosen to do a delicious combination of caramelised onion, sweet potato, ricotta and baby spinach. I recommend making it on a sunday, slicing it up and having for breakfast through the week - one less thing you have to think about during your busy mornings.

Ingredients

8 eggs

2 cups baby spinach

1 small sweet potato

1/2 medium brown onion

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp balsamic glaze

Ricotta (quantity dependent on preferences)

Salt, to taste

Optional: rocket leaves, to serve

Method

STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking dish (we have chosen a 20cm diameter round baking dish but you can choose whichever you prefer).

STEP 2
Slice the onion thinly and sauté in extra virgin olive oil until translucent.

STEP 3
Add the balsamic vinegar and balsamic glaze, combine for a few minutes and then set the onions aside.

STEP 4
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt.

STEP 5
Peel and slice the sweet potato into thin rounds.

STEP 6
In the lined baking dish, assemble the frittata by placing a thin even layer of the caramelised onion, followed by some of the sweet potato rounds, baby spinach and ricotta.

STEP 7
Repeat with another layer of onion, sweet potato, baby spinach and ricotta.

STEP 8
Pour over the whisked eggs and bake in the oven at 160°C-180°C for 45-60 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and the sweet potato has softened.
