Baked Sweet Potato and Gouda Frittata Recipe
One pot, from cooking through to serving, is all you need to make this elegant Sunday Dinner Frittata.
Baked Sweet Potato and Gouda Frittata is a flavorful and wholesome dish where the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes combines with the rich, creamy notes of Gouda cheese in a satisfying baked egg casserole.
Baked Sweet Potato and Gouda Frittata
Frittatas are versatile and delicious Italian egg-based dishes that seamlessly blend convenience with culinary creativity. Characterized by their open-faced omelet-like structure, frittatas are a popular choice for breakfast, brunch or even a quick dinner.
The dish typically starts with beaten eggs as the base, creating a canvas for an array of ingredients that can include vegetables, cheeses, meats, and herbs.
One of the defining features of a frittata is its cooking method. Unlike traditional omelets that are cooked quickly on the stovetop, frittatas undergo a dual cooking process. Initially, the ingredients are sautéed or pre-cooked in an oven-safe skillet on the stovetop. Then, the partially cooked frittata is transferred to the oven to finish cooking, resulting in a beautifully puffed and golden-brown top.
The frittata’s adaptability is one of its key charms. Home cooks can tailor the dish to suit personal tastes or make use of available ingredients, making it an excellent vehicle for leftovers. Popular variations include Spinach and Feta, Mushroom and Swiss and this recipe, Baked Sweet Potato and Gouda Frittata, which showcases the marriage of sweet and savory flavors.
Frittatas are not only a delicious way to showcase seasonal produce and pantry staples but also an efficient method for serving a crowd. Their simplicity, combined with the ability to customize ingredients, has secured the frittata’s place as a go-to dish for those seeking a satisfying and fuss-free meal.
You really can make our Baked Sweet Potato and Gouda Frittata, from start to finish, in one pot. A large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet works well. Or, an enameled cast iron baking dish, such as Le Creuset®, makes for a nice presentation for a traditional Sunday brunch.
