Ingredients
EGGS
- 10 large egg organic, pasture-raised when possible
- 1/3 cup dairy-free milk (we prefer unsweetened plain almond milk)
- 1/2 tsp each black pepper sea salt
- 1/2 tsp each salt sea salt
VEGGIES
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil (or other neutral oil with high smoke point, such as refined coconut)
- 1 small sweet potato skin on // ~ 1 ½ cups potato as recipe is written, cubed
- 1 cup leek or shallot, sliced
- 1 cup asparagus trimmed and chopped
- 1/4 cup dill or sub 1/2 this amount in dried dill // or use other herb of choice, chopped
- 1/4 cup macadamia nut cheese (or sub store-bought soft dairy-free cheese // check out our Guide to Dairy-Free Cheese for tips!)
FOR SERVING optional
- avocado ripe, sliced
- fresh herbs
- microgreens
- hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
- Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat (we prefer cast iron or nonstick // stainless steel tends to stick // if adjusting serving size, adjust size of cooking pan as needed).
- Once hot, add the oil and swirl to coat. Make sure the sides of the pan are coated as well so the eggs don’t stick when added later on.
- Add the sweet potato and leek and season with a bit of salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then shake into an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for ~10 minutes. The sweet potatoes should be just fork tender and the leeks will be slightly crispy. Carefully remove from the oven (using an oven mitt).
- In the meantime, crack eggs and add to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine and season with dairy-free milk, salt, and pepper. Add chopped asparagus and dill and stir to combine.
- Add the egg mixture over top the sweet potatoes and spread to ensure vegetables are evenly dispersed. Then top with 2 tsp amounts of dairy-free cheese (see photo).
- Return to oven and bake until eggs are cooked through and fluffy / golden brown — about 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to overbake or the frittata can get tough.
- Enjoy fresh. Garnish with additional dill, ripe avocado, microgreens, and/or other fresh herbs (all optional). Delicious as is or served with hot sauce, GF toast, or socca bread for a grain-free option (all optional).
- Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven, or on the stovetop until hot. Best when fresh. Not freezer friendly.
