Preparation

Position oven rack 6-inches (15 cm) from broiler. Preheat broiler.

In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup (175 mL) Canadian Asiago-style cheese, Canadian Medium Cheddar cheese and milk.

In 12-inch (30 cm) non-stick ovenproof skillet, over medium heat, melt butter, add sweet potatoes; cover, stirring occasionally and cook 5 to 6 min or until sweet potatoes are almost tender. Add spinach and cook uncovered, about 1 to 2 min or until slightly wilted. Reduce heat to medium-low; pour egg mixture over vegetables; cover and cook for 5 to 6 min or until bubbles are coming through mixture and bottom is golden brown (eggs won't be fully set.)

Remove cover; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) Canadian Asiago-style cheese. Broil for 1-1/2 min or until egg is set and cheese is bubbling and slightly browned. Let stand 5 min; run spatula around outside edge of skillet to release frittata.

Slice and serve immediately with Fresh Sweet Onion Salsa.

Fresh Sweet Onion Salsa

In small bowl combine tomatoes, onion, parsley, lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips

If skillet handle is not ovenproof, wrap it completely with aluminum foil to protect it from the heat of the broiler.

Variation:
Substitute shredded Canadian Canadian-Swiss for Canadian Asiago
