Sweet Potato Frittata

One of my JWU students made this at support group and I am finally getting the recipe up on the blog. Thanks Evangelia!

Ingredients:
1 Large Sweet Potato
1 Package of Provolone cheese, sliced very thin (or about 12 slices)
1 dozen medium eggs
1 small broccoli Crown
1 Large Green Bell Pepper
½ oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Pam Spray (just to coat the pan)
1 can black beans, strained and rinsed (optional)

Method of Preparation:
1) Gather all ingredients and mise en place.
2)Cut the sweet potato-julienne, cut the: green pepper-small dice, broccoli- small dice, green onion-on a bias, and set aside in separate bowls.
3) Sauté the onion for about 1 minute and add your sweet potato, cook until just tender.
4) While the sweet potato is cooking, crack your eggs in a separate bowl, 7 whole eggs and 5 egg whites, stir and set aside.
5) Remove your sweet potatoes from the heat, and spray the new sauté non-stick pan you will cook your frittata in. Evenly arrange the sweet potatoes on the bottom of the pan.
6) Add the pan to the heat, after a moment add some of your egg mixture. Depending on how big of the non-stick pan you have you might have to make 2 or 3 batches of your frittata.
7) Next, add an even amount of your green bell pepper and broccoli. Allow cooking for 3 minutes or so, covering it with a lid to allow it to cook faster; cooking until the egg is barely running.
8) Add 3-4 pieces of cheese to it and let it sit for a moment. Remove from heat and rest.
9) Serve and enjoy with black beans if you wish!
