Tired of your Average Breakfast?

Spinach-Mushroom Swiss & Parmesan Cheese Egg Fritatta

This dish is way easier to make than how it sounds.


What is Frittata? Frittata- is a Italian style, flat omelet it is usually cooked in a cast iron. It is like a crust less quiche, loaded with meats veggies & cheese.

I was hungry for a good breakfast, I am not a fan of just plain ol' Eggs, scrambled or over easy eggs, hash browns. I wanted something more for breakfast. I love Fritatta, its fancy & easy to make. I decided to go with Turkey Bacon on the side & a Sweet Potato hash, with a side of Chile Avocados.


We want to start off with Par boiling our Sweet Potatoes. We dice them up into nice cubes. Let the pot of water come to a simmer and then add in your sweet potatoes. While those are simmering we will work on the Fritatta. These will take about 20-25 Minutes.
Par Boiled means to cook partially, it helps reduce down the cooking time when added to a recipe.

Spinach & Swiss, Parmesan Cheese Fritatta

7- Whole Eggs
3-Slices Swiss Cheese
1/4 Cup- Parmesan Cheese
2 TBS- Oregano (finely chopped)
1/2 Cup- Mushroom
1 TBS- Garlic
1/4 Cup- Onion
1/2 Cup- Frozen Spinach or fresh
1/4 Cup- Heavy Cream
3 TBS- Milk
1 tsp- Garlic Salt
1 tsp- Chile Powder
Salt & Pepper -to taste
1-2 TBS- Olive oil

Directions-
Add some olive oil into your pan, add your onion and garlic, cook until you smell the fragrance of the onion and garlic put aside, put a little oil in the pan and then add your mushrooms in, once it has started cooking, add in your fresh oregano. The mushrooms, soak in the oil pretty quick, if that happens go ahead and add a little bit more oil, put that aside. Now add a little bit oil in pan, and saute the spinach, once it has been sauteed put it aside.


Crack 7 eggs, add in you Sauteed' Garlic, Onion, Spinach & Mushroom, add in your Swiss Cheese, Heavy Cream and Milk then add in your seasonings. Mix it all together. Spray your pie pan, so the egg won't stick to the pan. Once you put the Fritatta mix in the pan, top it with parmsean cheese, so while it bakes it just makes this beautiful golden brown crust. MMMMmmmmmmm

While our Fritatta is in the oven, it's time to lay out the Turkey Bacon, it can bake in the oven while the Fritata is baking. ( I LOVE TURKEY BACON)

Okay let's go on over to our Sweet Potato, and make our Sweet Potato Hash.
Once our Sweet Potato has, been par boiled set it aside to let it cool off a bit. 

Simple Yet Tasty Sweet Potato Hash

Par Cooked Sweet Potato about 1-2 (Cut into cubes)
1/4-1/2 Cup- Fire Roasted Diced Tomato
1/4 Cup- Onions
2 TBS- Garlic
1-2 TBS- Fresh Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

Strain your Sweet Potato, put aside for a bit and start heating up your saute' pan. Add in your garlic & onion, and your fresh oregano. Let it saute' until you can smell it, we don't want it to burn add in your Sweet Potato. Toss around a few time, let it cook for about 7 minutes. Now go ahead and add your diced tomatoes and stir. Cook for a few minutes longer then season to taste. Yayye it's done.
