Bacon and sweet potato frittata

Under R95 • Serves 4 • Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: about 15–20 minutes

• 200g bacon, diced

• 1 large sweet potato with orange flesh, cut into 1cm cubes

• 6 eggs

• 250ml cream

• 125ml finely grated cheese (Gouda, Cheddar or mozzarella)

1 Fry the bacon in a 25cm pan until crispy; let the bacon’s own fat grease the pan.

2 Add the sweet potato and wait until the cubes start to fry before adding 125ml boiling water. Put the lid on and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and the water has reduced (about 5–10 minutes).

3 Beat the eggs and cream together, season with salt and pepper, and pour into the pan. Reduce the heat and stir, but just until the egg starts to set. Then fry the frittata lightly for about 5 minutes until set.

4 Sprinkle the cheese on top and then grill in the oven until the top is golden-brown and the frittata is cooked through.

Let it stand for a few minutes before cutting into slices to serve. It’s delicious with a fresh salad and wholewheat bread.
