Baked plantains, sweet potatoes,cheese, eggs,spices, and vegetables..breakfast is calling!!!! Do something new and healthy with those plantains and/or sweet potatoes in your pantry;this dish is quite tasteful and makes a  great breakfast option for a Saturday morning especially for anyone with kids.

If you been following our blog for a while, then you would know that I love eggs a lot. So, some days ago I decided to spice things up and instead of just making a typical frittata with Irish potatoes, I decided to Africanize things a bit. I combined 2 very Nigerian ingredients (plantains and sweet potatoes) to the other frittata ingredients and it turned out TASTEFULLY GREAT:)

I call this an Afri-Talian fusion recipe; the combination of flavors makes this dish a winner, and it leaves a lingering taste.I got some of friends to try it at choir practice and they loved it. I hope you enjoy making it and eating it as well. It is quite easy to make but requires a bit of time; It is also quite healthy and you do not have to put the cheese. It is also a great breakfast dish and is a child-friendly recipe.

 FRITTATA: an egg-based Italian dish resembling a flat thick omelette.To make a frittata, beaten eggs are cooked briefly in a hot skillet along with other ingredients such as onions, spinach, bacon and/or potatoes, and then topped with cheese and finished in the oven. When cooked in a round skillet, the frittata is then typically sliced into wedge-shaped portions for serving.

4. Boil the sweet potato cubes for 10-12 minutes. (Do not overcook them since you will still be baking them in the oven)

THINGS TO NOTE

• If you do not have enough time and patience to bake the plantains, then you could boil then for about 7-10 minutes before adding to the egg mixture.
• Do not let the frittata bake for too long so that way the egg mix will be still moist and tender rather than tough and stringy;once the toothpick comes out dry,take the frittata out of the oven.
• You could make a plantain frittata without the sweet potatoes. It still tastes as nice.
