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 your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Heat a large enameled cast iron pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add diced sweet potatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and spread them out evenly. Let them cook untouched for 6-8 minutes, then stir and cook for another 6-8 minutes until tender.
  3. For the asparagus, add the remaining olive oil to the pan. Then, add chopped asparagus, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is al dente.
  4. While the asparagus is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a bit of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in about 2/3 of the crumbled goat cheese.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the pan, distributing it evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom sets, then sprinkle the remaining goat cheese on top.
  6. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are firm.
  7. Slice into 6 pieces and serve with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the goat cheese with feta cheese if preferred.
