Ingredients

  • oil or butter for greasing skillet
  • 1 sweet potato cooked
  • 1 cup chopped greens swiss chard, kale, beet greens
  • 1 handful fresh herbs parsley or basil
  • 1 cup vegetables diced , we used onion and bell pepper.
  • ½ cup chicken or any meat, chopped cooked
  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk can replace with more eggs
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • salt pepper, cayenne

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Grease a cast-iron skillet (unless yours is very well seasoned) with oil or butter. Slice the sweet potato into very thin rounds and layer on bottom of skillet. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Top with greens & parsley, chicken, and chopped veggies.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parmesan cheese, and additional seasonings. Distribute evenly over the vegetables and meat in the skillet.
  • Bake, uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until it looks mostly cooked. Remove from oven (or you could probably just turn off the oven), and cover with a lid for 5 minutes to make sure the eggs set on top!
  • Wait at least 2 minutes before slicing or remove from skillet, then slice into wedges and serve. If freezing, wait until cool before wrapping and storing in freezer.
