Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 cups kale, chopped (stems removed)

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 large eggs

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta work well)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

      Sauté the aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Stir in the chopped kale and cook for about 3-4 minutes until wilted. Season with smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme. Remove from heat.

        Whisk the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.

          Combine ingredients: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer the sweet potato-kale mixture evenly. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the top, ensuring it covers the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

            Bake the dish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.

              Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, optionally with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added heat.
