We have 32 bloggers bringing you their best brunch game, from cocktails to eggs benedict to donuts, there is something for everything this week. Our amazing sponsors have donated some great prizes for a gigantic giveaway, please visit them all for more information. (Link to giveaway at END of post)
Being the rebellious food blogger that I am, I am sharing an Italian breakfast favorite and not a Mexican one. I know we’re all frantically searching for juevos rancheros today or fish tacos, but sometimes stepping out of the box has it’s compliments. Now don’t get me wrong, I will be all over an ice cold cervesa and some guacamole tonight, that’s for sure.
As for fritattas, I believe they are one of the most deceiving dishes out there. One on side you present this beautiful colorful egg dish that looks like if took you hours to make. Put anything in a masculine cast iron skillet and it automatically transfers from “eh” to “ooohhh”. You can present this in the middle of a simple breakfast spread with fruit and coffee and your guests will think you slaved over brunch for hours. However, this veggie and sweet potato fritatta is probably the easiest breakfast you can make. I really should have called it “throw everything you have leftover in the fridge that you need to cook before it starts growing pinkies- fritatta”, but that wouldn’t gain anymore readers. Or would it?
There is a lot going on this week so please make sure to come back! We have a HUGE…I mean HUGE giveaway with 11 sponsors donating amazing gifts! There is so much swag but I had to create an entire new post just to include it all!
But first…..the loaded veggie aka everything in the kitchen sink fritatta recipe!
Loaded Veggie Fritatta with Sweet Potato and Hatch Chiles
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato peeled and diced
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 cup hatch chiles roasted and chopped
- 1 cup spinach
- 5 eggs + splash of milk
- 1 cup cheddar shredded
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large skillet (or cast iron), drizzle with olive oil and add sweet potatoes. Cook on medium until potatoes are fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. I also covered the skillet with a lit to help cook faster.
- While potatoes are cooking, whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl and set aside.
- When potatoes are done, add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Next evenly distribute the hatch chiles and spinach. Pour in egg mixture and tilt pan so eggs are distributed evenly. Season with salt and pepper and top with shredded cheese.
- Cook on stove top for 1-2 minutes so eggs begin to set. Then transfer skillet to oven and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until eggs are cooked and fluffy.
- When done allow pan to cool slightly and cut into wedges.
