🕒 Prep & Cook Time: 1 hr

🍽️ Servings: 3 large omelettes (6 eggs each)

🥄 Ingredients

Omelette (per 26 cm pan):

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 heaping tbsp soft cheese (ricotta, goat cheese, or Brie)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Baked Sweet Potatoes (for 3 omelettes):

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel sweet potatoes and slice into 1-inch thick rounds. Toss with salt, pepper, and oil.
  2. Arrange sweet potato rounds in a baking dish, slightly overlapping if needed. Bake for 45 minutes until creamy inside.
  3. Remove from oven, add sliced green onions, and gently mix.
    Sweet potatoes can be prepared 1-2 days ahead and refrigerated.
  4. To make the omelette, heat oil in a 26 cm skillet. Spread 1/3 of the baked sweet potatoes with green onions evenly on the bottom. Warm gently on low heat.
  5. Beat 6 eggs with salt and pepper until combined. When oil sizzles, pour eggs into skillet over potatoes.
  6. Cook a few seconds until edges begin to set, then transfer skillet to a 190°C (375°F) oven. Bake for 10-13 minutes until omelette is set and firm on top.
  7. Carefully slide omelette onto a large plate. Top with soft cheese pieces, some green onion from the potatoes, freshly ground black pepper, chili flakes (optional), and drizzle 2 tsp olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
