Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 shallot (minced)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 medium yellow potatoes
  • 8 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tbsp fresh basil (chopped)
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives (chopped)
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz goat cheese (garlic herb or plain)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°
  • Using a mandolin slicer or sharp knife, thinly slice potatoes into even rounds (about ⅛ inch thin).
  • In a 10 inch cast iron skillet (or other ovenproof skillet), heat oil over medium heat. Add in minced shallot and sauté 3 minutes until softened. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add butter to pan and increase heat to medium-high. When butter is melted and coats bottom of the pan, layer in potatoes - distributing in an even layer around the bottom of the pan. Cook without stirring 8 - 10 minutes, until potatoes begin to turn golden and form a slight crispy crust on the bottom layer.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, onion powder, salt, and pepper, Basil, and Chives. Add in sautéed shallots and stir to combine.
  • Slowly pour egg mixture into pan over potato layer (using care not to disturb the layered potatoes), and crumble goat cheese over top.
  • Transfer skillet to oven, and bake 22 - 24 minutes until eggs are set.
  • Sprinkle with additional fresh herbs just before serving for an extra boost of flavor if desired.
