My household has been sick these last few weeks and just when I thought I was finally over it, it's as if I caught another strand of the flu and got it all over again. I decided my immune system sucks and that I eat too much crap. We never plan our meals ahead and at least once a week we get take-out... We have a stash of those hand towelettes in our top kitchen drawer. That's when you know you have an issue. So, in an effort to be healthier, I made a GIANT frittata for the whole week so that I could just heat up a slice each morning. I'm talking 12 eggs in this sucker and jam packed with vegetables! It's really easy, healthy and tasty!
Now depending on how much you want to make, the amount of ingredients really depend.
What you will need:
Eggs, I used 12.
A few dollops of cream.
A handful of grated cheese.Half a sweet potato, cubed.
3 white potatoes, grated.
A handful of spinach.
A handful of chopped mushrooms.
2 carrots, grated.
And 3 finely chopped cloves of garlic.
Peel and wash your sweet potato and cut into small cubes. You can do the same with the white potatoes if you like, I just wanted to grate them to add to a thicker texture. But if you want more chunks then you can have both of the potatoes cubed. Lay them out on a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil over the top of them. You want to half bake them.
After they are half cooked, take them out to a cool. Change the heat of your oven to 160 Degree's.
Whisk all of your eggs together with the cream and pour into your baking dish. Literally just put all of your vegetables into the egg and spread them out. Sprinkle the garlic through and season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil. You want to cook the frittata slowly so that the inside cooks thoroughly without the top of it burning. Mine roughly took around an hour, for such a large amount. When the inside is cooked it'll rise and become fluffy and white and the top will be nice and crispy. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, return to the oven for 5 minutes and you've got yourself a frittata! (And a week of healthy, delicious breakfasts)
