INGREDIENTS

6 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 tsp. salt
1½ tsp. ground pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
2 cups sweet potatoes, chopped
2 cups chopped kale
½ small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together with the half-and-half, salt and pepper.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes and sauté for 8–10 minutes or until the potatoes begin to turn tender and golden; remove and keep warm.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add kale, onions and garlic and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and softened. Stir in potatoes. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cook for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle the egg mixture with goat cheese.
