Ingredients

4 sweet potatoes
2 tbsp oil
6-8 scallions or 4 spring onions
150g baby spinach
10 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
150g goat's cheese

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6.

Dice the sweet potatoes and put them into a roasting tray. Coat them with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt, then roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and either leave it on, or heat up the grill.

Slice the scallions or spring onions. Wilt the spinach in boiling water, then drain very well. Put the remaining oil in to a 30cm ovenproof pan and add the scallions or spring onions, sweet potatoes and spinach, Saute for 5 minutes on a low to medium heat.

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk. Add the salt and pepper. Pour the egg mix into the pan of vegetables and cook until the base and sides have set. Then crumble the cheese on top and place the pan in the oven or under the grill until the top sets and turns golden brown – about 5 minutes.
