Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add sweet potatoes, onion, and season with salt.
  3. Add in kale and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the vegetables to a bowl. Set aside to cool.
  4. Once vegetable mixture is cool, add the eggs and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Use a paper towel to wipe away any remaining oil or vegetable scraps on the cast iron skillet. Over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the egg and vegetable mixture. Gently shake the pan until the egg starts firming along the sides of the pan. With a rubber spatula, keep moving the egg away from the sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
  6. Once the sides of the mixture are cooked, remove from stove and place the entire pan in the oven. Bake 15 minutes or until the center of the egg is no longer runny. Remove from the oven and serve.
