I love omelettes, but I don’t like making them. That’s why I make these “oven omelettes” 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 😀 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.
And now for the recipe!
Oven Omelette with Sweet Potato Crust
Lightly grease two pie dishes. Thinly slice one large or two small sweet potato, and arrange it around the bottom of the pie dishes. Sprinkle the sweet potato crust with sea salt and pepper. Pour omelet mixture over top.
Omelette 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 cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
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 am definitely making these for breakfast tomorrow! I love that there is a sweet potato crust – great idea!
laurelvb says
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!
Meagan says
I like the whole “pizza-esque” omelete idea! I definitely want to try this – it looks delicious!

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 says
I’m so glad, Lori! We love it too. Maybe I’ll make it tonight actually 🙂
Tasty Eats At Home says
Oh yum! Love the sweet potato crust idea.
Sea says
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 says
Oh yum! I think I’m going to do this tomorrow!

I am just now starting to go Paleo, and made this as one of my first dinners for my kids! It was a huge hit! They absolutely loved it! Thank you so much!

So amazing! I made this for an office brunch and everyone said it was the best quiche they ever had! I subbed in 2 slices of turkey bacon instead of the sausage and didnt have sundried totmatoes so dropped some pesto drops on top. It was bomb!!! Will DEF make again!

This looks really good. Can you offer a replacement for the Daiya dairy-free cheese? I would like to avoid some of the ingredients in it. Thanks for any help.
Katie says
Do you cook the sweet potato before you slice it or does it just cook with the rest of the omelhismryet?
Katie says
Do you need to cook the sweet potatoes before you put them as the crust or do they just bake with the rest of the omelet?
Linda says
You do not need to cook them first!
Steve Bullman says
Hi, tastes lush, but how can I stop the potato rising to the surface during cooking?
Steve Bullman says
Hi, tastes great thank you. Only thing is, how can I stop the potatoes rising to the surface during cooking?
Lois says
I’m going to try and do this without the chicken sausage. While they may be raised humanely, they aren’t usually killed humanely. I can get eggs that I trust, but I’m going to look for an alternative to the sausage. I’ll let you know.
Jane says
WOW, that sounds AMAZING! And I just bought sweet potatoes today! Gonna try with spinach and cherry tomatoes and bratwurtz…cuz that’s what I got! Thanks for the idea.
Nikki says
This sounds wonderful. I LOVE Herbamare seasoning. SOO GOOD! And the Applegate chicken sausage is so good. Can’t wait to try this one!
Arlene says
In the oven! Celebrating our daughter’s 25th birthday I always make her some sort of omlette to start her day! perfect timing
kristy says
This dish has been a staple in our home for years, my mum use to make it! Best way to fill the family with nutrients! Thinly sliced pumpkin seasoned with herbamare & a dash of coconut oil. Yummy!
Claire says
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I cannot tell you what a joy it has been to eat this week. My husband and I lead very busy lives and I find it hard to cook things at 5am, never-the-less things that include wonderful vegetables. I have made quite a variety of recipes off of your website and I can honestly say they have all been fantastic. This was no exception, I am looking forward to snacking on it again in the morning. Thank you for doing what you do, to help people like us eat healthier and happier. You are wonderful! 🙂
Pat Powers says
