Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife
  • Cast Iron or Oven Safe Pan
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 8 eggs*
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup cotija cheese or parmesan cheese
  • salt + pepper
  • 6 slices bacon* chopped
  • 1 lb sweet potatoes* cut into ½-inch chunks
  • 1 onion* chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic* minced
  • 2 tsp thyme* dried
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3 oz goat cheese crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Heat a cast-iron or oven safe pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer it with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tbsp bacon fat, reserving the poured-out fat for another recipe.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and cook over medium-high until golden and just tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add 1 tbsp of bacon fat back to the pan and cook the onion, garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes until the onion is soft, around 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and half the bacon back to the pan and spread out evenly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, cotija, and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook the frittata over medium-high heat, lifting the cooked egg around the edges to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook until eggs are mostly set, around 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven broiler to high.
  • Crumble the goat cheese on top of the frittata and sprinkle on the remaining bacon. Broil for 2-3 minutes on high, until the cheese is browned and the center of the frittata is set.
