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

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Heat a large enameled cast iron, cast iron pan, or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and let it get hot. Add sweet potatoes, salt, and pepper, stir to combine, and spread out evenly, trying to get them in a single layer. Let them sit untouched for 6-8 minutes. Stir and cook for another 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add remaining avocado oil and add asparagus, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is al dente.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and some salt and pepper. Stir in about 2/3 of the goat cheese.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, making sure it is distributed evenly. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom sets. Sprinkle with the remaining goat cheese.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are firm.
  7. Slice into 6 pieces and serve with toppings if desired.

Feel free to add more vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to increase the flavor and nutrition.
