Sweet Potato Omelette With Crispy Bacon & Goat’s Cheese

This sweet potato omelette with crispy bacon and goat’s cheese is great for using up leftover roast vegetables and to make something a little different for breakfast. The sweetness of the potatoes pairs well with salty bacon and cheese. Bacon can be omitted for a vegetarian version and this recipe is gluten-free friendly.


Sweet Potato Omelette With Crispy Bacon & Goat's Cheese

This sweet potato omelette recipe is perfect for weekends when you have a little time up your sleeve. You can also prepare it in the mornings during the week but make sure to give yourself 15-20 minutes and remember to do some prep the night before.

I often make it the day after I roast sweet potato for dinner as I always make a little extra. You can also make a larger batch as part of your weekend meal prep. Roasted sweet potato can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

 

To speed up the morning prep process, you can also pre-dice bacon the night before (you can even pre-grill it).

This omelette is a great source of protein and starchy carbohydrates, making it a filling meal and great for active people. You can also make it as a pre- or post-workout meal.

TIPS FOR MAKING SWEET POTATO & BACON OMELETTE

  • I used thinly sliced middle bacon and streaky rashers. As usual, I always recommend choosing the best quality bacon made from outdoor bread, free-range pigs. Check the label and look for the brand with the least amount of additives and preservatives. Quality bacon tastes so much better and has a superior nutritional profile.
  • Sweet potato can be replaced with parsnips, pumpkin or other root vegetables. For a lower-carb version, I love adding grilled asparagus or steamed broccoli.
  • I used soft goat’s milk cheese, also known as chèvre, but you can crumble some feta, which is a little cheaper. Feel free to leave the cheese out if you’re avoiding all dairy. Likewise, you could omit the bacon and add more goat’s cheese for a vegetarian version.
  • Make-ahead: roast the sweet potato with onion the night before if making this breakfast on a weekday.

Try this sweet potato and bacon omelette with goat's cheese for a nutritious, gluten-free, grain-free breakfast. Omit bacon for a vegetarian version or the cheese for a dairy-free, paleo, Whole30 version.

Ingredients 

Roasted sweet potato

  • 1.5 cups sweet potato diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced roughly
  • A few springs of fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For the omelette

  • 3-4 rashers bacon including the middle (short cut) part
  • 6 eggs whisked
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup goat’s cheese soft, crumbled
  • Sides: Mixed salad greens & sliced cucumber

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F. Combine sweet potato with olive oil, onions, thyme and salt and scatter on a flat baking tray.
  • Roast for 25 minutes. You can stir the potato around after 15 minutes but not essential.
  • Dice the bacon. I like to cut the rind away and cut the strips into 3-4 pieces. Heat a little oil in a frying pan you will be cooking the omelette in. Fry the bacon for 5 minutes, stirring a few times until crispy. 
  • Add sweet potato, thyme and onion to the bacon in the pan and turn to medium heat. 
  • Pour in the whisked eggs, making sure they spread evenly. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the egg is set and just cooked through. You can cover the pan with a lid to speed up the cooking process. 
  • Right at the end, sprinkle with some goat’s cheese (if using) and a little black pepper. 
  • Serve with a side salad of mixed greens, cucumber, lemon juice & olive oil.

  1. I like to caramelise onion with the bacon and the sweet potato and set aside
    then use a 3 egg mixture with fresh herbs and chillies for the omelette , wrapping the bacon -sweet potato mix with the egg like a burrito…
    can go nuts with the variations, but it is a quick simple staple in our home for all to enjoy.
    rock on..
