Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 cups diced sweet potato (14 ounces/2 small-medium potatoes)
- 3 cups roughly chopped asparagus (315 grams)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 ounces goat cheese (about 3/4 cup crumbled)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- for topping – avocado, fresh parsley, sliced green onions, hot sauce…
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a large enameled cast iron, cast iron pan, or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up. Add diced sweet potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and spread them out evenly in a single layer. Let them cook untouched for 6-8 minutes, then stir and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the pan along with the chopped asparagus, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the asparagus is al dente.
- While the asparagus is cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk in a large bowl, adding salt and pepper. Stir in about 2/3 of the crumbled goat cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan, distributing it evenly. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom starts to set. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese on top.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are set and firm.
- Slice into 6 pieces and enjoy, adding toppings like avocado, fresh parsley, sliced green onions, or hot sauce if desired.
