The refrigerator light goes on...

I love the yams diced and cooked with the leek like home fries and then made into a tortilla. It's really delicious and a complete breakfast.

Yam and Leek Tortilla recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 large leek (cleaned and sliced crosswise)
  • 8 ounces yams (peeled and cut into 1/4 inch cubes)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp water

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Place a medium skillet over medium high heat.

When the pan is hot add the oil and the leeks. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the diced yams and cook for about two minutes. Stir and cover. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 12 - 15 minutes, tossing frequently.

Add the salt, pepper, thyme and oregano. Toss well.

Whisk the eggs, egg whites and water together until fluffy. Pour over the top of the leek and yams and then place the pan in the oven.

Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg is set.

Serve.
