Instructions:
1. Set the Oven: Set up your oven at 375°F (190°C) temperature with your desired cooking pot prepared for baking.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: The ingredients for the batter are eggs, milk, salt, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese For the topping, mix ¼ cup of the shredded cheese.
3. Brown the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil until melted and slightly browned in a large pan using the stovetop on a medium setting. Heat the Beef and stir it as it cooks, until they are no longer pink. After that, transfer the Beef onto a separate dish and leave it aside after coagulating it.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the rest of the two tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced onions, chopped sweet peppers, and shredded sweet potatoes. Simmer without stirring for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are caramelized and lightly browned on the outside.
5. Combine and Layer: Place the cooked Beef back into the skillet and blend it with the vegetables. Pour the above mixture gently on the skillet ensuring that all the ways are filled. After that, turn the Beef and vegetables for another couple of minutes and then pour the egg mixture over them to pave it.
6. Bake the Frittata: Put the skillet into the heated oven and bake until the eggs are well set up and the surface is golden colored about 18 to 20 minutes. To determine whether the muffins are done, place a knife in the middle of the muffin and it should be clean.
