Oven Omelets with Sweet Potato Crust
gluten-free, dairy-free


I love omelets, but I don't like making them. That's why I make these "oven omelets" all the time. This recipe made two "pies" and about six servings. We let them cool to room temperature, and took them to the park for a picnic.


We just ate them with our hands like pizza :D

The other end of this park has a playground and a rose garden. I took some photos of the roses at twilight, one of my favorite times of day for pictures.

To see all of the photos I took this evening, Click Here, to go to my family blog :D

And now for the recipe!

Lightly grease two pie dishes. Thinly slice one large or two small sweet potato, and arrange it around the bottom of the pie dishes, like this:

Sprinkle the sweet potato crust with sea salt and pepper.

Pour omelet mixture over top.

Omelet mixture:
8 whisked eggs
1.5 tsp Herbamare seasoning
1 finely chopped sauteed onion
1 finely chopped sauteed red pepper
2 cloves minced sauteed garlic
2 cups lightly steamed, thinly sliced broccoli
1 cup sliced Applegate Farms, Chicken & Maple, Breakfast Sausage*
1/2 cup Daiya or other dairy-free cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped sundried tomatoes

Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes.

*I like Applegate Farms, Chicken & Maple, Breakfast Sausage because it's gluten and casein free and it doesn't contain MSG or nitrates. Plus the chickens are treated humanely and without antibiotics.

I'm thinking this might make an interesting base for your pumpkin pie as well. I mean, why not? So simple too.

LOL! I use the same thing...sweet potato crust... for my egg dishes! Makes the difference for my boys!
I love the look of yours with all the veggies on top! Beautiful!

I made this for breakfast this morning (minus the peppers and tomatoes) and it turned out great. The best part is that this was Hubby Approved. Thanks for the recipe!

Made this last night for dinner with kale instead of broccoli. So tasty! My husband loved it too (and asked for more!)

Kelly said...

I'm so glad, Lori! We love it too. Maybe I'll make it tonight actually :-)

Oh yum! Love the sweet potato crust idea.

Sea said...

Oh yum, this sounds wonderful. I would skip the sausage but I bet it would be just as good without! I'm glad you can do eggs right now... Yay!

This.looks.amazing.
Can this be done without the sweet potato "crust"? I believe it would be better as is...but some people in this household cannot do potatoes.
Thanky you!
(Lovely pictures by the way)

Natalie said...

Oh yum! I think I'm going to do this tomorrow!
