Ham & Sweet Potato Frittata
Easy one dish weeknight meal!
I usually try to make omelets that turns into scrambled eggs with meat and veggies, still delicious but not very pretty. I decided to try and make something fancier, a simple frittata. It’s an easy one dish weeknight meal that the whole family should enjoy. There are a many many versions of this recipes on pinterest and all over the internet, which makes it fun because you can make it frequently but have different flavor profiles.
I had a lot of cooked ham leftover from a ham hock I made last week and I wanted to make it for dinner but it had to feel like it wasn’t just leftovers. I thought about making a savory tart, but I wanted to keep it more simple and less carb heavy. Than I thought of a frittata, which turned into the perfect solution. A lot of frittatas have heavy cream and cheese, but like most dishes you don’t miss the cheese as long as the dish is full of delicious flavors. This particular time I kept it simple, onions, sweet potatoes and ham but in the future I may add some fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary. This is a big recipe and it provided 2 meals for us.
As always thanks for visiting my 2nd favorite place. Cheers to a Happy & Healthy Day!
Ham & Sweet Potato Frittata
Ingredients
- 1 Small sweet or yellow onion Diced
- 1 Medium Sweet Potato Chopped
- 1 Cup Shredded Ham
- 8 Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Coconut or Almond Milk
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper

- Best pan to use for this recipe is a cast iron pan & it's the only pan you will need to make this dish!
- Drizzle pan with olive or avocado oil. Dice onions and sweet potatoes, add to pan. Saute the veggies till potatoes and onions are softened. I cooked veggies on low heat and placed lid on pan.
- While veggies are cooking, beat the eggs, add 1/4 cup milk, salt, black pepper and garlic powder, mix well.
- Once veggies are softened, add 1 cup shredded ham and egg mixture. Make sure that the veggies and eggs are spread evenly in the pan, so that it bakes evenly.
- Cook for about 2 minutes stove top. Than finish baking it in the oven, bake until the eggs are set which usually takes about 5 minutes.
