Instructions

  • Prepare Sweet Potatoes:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Toss sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
    • Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  • Prepare Spinach Filling:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
    • Add the spinach and cook until wilted (about 2-3 minutes, or if using frozen, just heat through).
    • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare Egg Mixture:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

    • Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer.
    • Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese (if using) over the spinach.
    • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach and cheese.
    • Arrange the remaining sweet potato slices on top of the egg mixture.
  • Bake:

    • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the top is lightly golden.

 

  • Cool and Serve:

    • Let the bake cool slightly before slicing and serving.
