  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook for 4 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  5. Layer half of the sweet potato slices in the bottom of the baking dish.
  6. Top with half of the spinach mixture and sprinkle with some feta.
  7. Repeat the layers with remaining ingredients, finishing with a sprinkle of feta on top.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
  9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until golden and set.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • Add mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes for more flavor.
  • Substitute goat cheese or ricotta for feta if desired.
  • Stir in cooked quinoa or shredded chicken for added protein.
  • Use frozen spinach if fresh is unavailable—just thaw and squeeze dry.
  • Freezes well—wrap individual portions for easy reheating.
