Instructions

Set the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Egg Mixture : In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese, reserving ¼ cup for the topping.
Brown the Sausage: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling it as it browns, until fully cooked through. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
Sauté the Vegetables : Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced onion, diced sweet pepper, and shredded sweet potato. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and golden brown.
Combine and Layer : Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix it with the vegetables. Spread the mixture evenly across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, ensuring it evenly coats the ingredients.
Bake the Frittata: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Serve: Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve while warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs for added flavor.

Notes

For a crispier texture, broil the frittata for the last 2 minutes of baking.
For a cheesier version, mix in Parmesan, Gruyère, or feta.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in a skillet over low heat to keep it crispy.
