Sweet Potato & Bacon Frittata 

This is just a quick post so that I could share this recipe.....I'm so bugged with myself because I have so many recipes to share but am waiting  - get this - until I have the time AND can actually write something that probably only I would find amusing or interesting anyway........sigh......


Adapted from Primal Bliss

2 medium sweet potatoes
one package of nitrate free bacon (I use TJ's) cut into small pieces
1/2 cupped chopped red onion
1 clove of garlic
10 eggs whisked
splash of milk (if using dairy -I used coconut milk)
1/2 cup shredded cheese of your choice + 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan (if using dairy)
seasoning of choice for eggs (I used 1/4 tsp salt, pepper and TJ's 21 Seasoning Salute)
Chives or green onions for top

You will need a cooking vessel (ya like that terminology???) that can go on stove top and also in oven. I used my handy dandy cast iron skillet.

1.  Sauté bacon in skillet until almost crisp. 
2. Add chopped onion, garlic and sweet potato slices to skillet and continue to sauté until sweet potato is pliable.
3. If using cheese, sprinkle cheese (I used cheddar) over potato mixture.
3. Add splash of milk (if desired) and season the whisked eggs. Pour the egg mixture over the sweet potatoes and bacon base.
4. Sprinkle top with Parmesan (if using cheese).
5. Sprinkle chopped chives on top (I had to omit so kids would not freak out).
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until frittata is almost done.
7. Broil until golden on top.

The end.
