Beat the eggs 7 sec/speed 5. Set aside.
Pour the boiling water into the TM bowl, place the steaming basket in place, add the rice and cook 10 mins/varoma temp/speed 3. Refresh under cold water and add to the cheeses.

Tips/Hints:
This is half the recipe in the above book and can easily be doubled. We had it hot as a side dish but it is delicious cut into tiny squares and eaten cold and would be lovely finger food for a party.
Cottchick: This looks delicious and easy, thank you Judydawn! The mozzarella gives it a lovely whiteness on top.
Johnro: Made this as part of dinner tonight - it was so tasty. DH commented that the could eat it alone. Thanks Judy for posting, another will make this a regular
DM: Yum made this for dinner. Next time I might steam the sweet potato while making rice.
Lellyj: I really liked the hint of lemon and the rice. I made double quantity in a lasagne dish lined with baking paper. It was great that you didn't have to roast the sweet potato first
annied:I tried this tonight, it was quick, easy and tasty, thinking chopped up shallots and celery would be nice as well.
Farfallina: As you recommended I bought the largest ones I found. I used around 400g potato each time.
Second time I made it I used a small shallot instead of onion. It was like 15g. I liked that too
This gets 5 stars from me! It has already become one of my regulars!
Nicky74: This recipe sounds lovely, do you think you could cook it in the varoma, I have made omelets before, but was wondering if the sweet potato would be cooked enough, I suppose I could steam that first while the rice is cooking! Think I may have answered my own question! Has anyone tried it in the varoma.
I ended up doing it in the oven, and was so delicious that I just made it again this arvo, love the lemon zest in it.
NF: Do you think you could use a mandolin and slice the sweet potatoes that way?
JD: I don't know how thick a mandolin slices things Nighteyes_fitz, if it's close to 6mm I would say yes.
JulieO: We really enjoyed this. I used up some caramelised onion in place of the normal onion which gave it a lovely flavour.

Keep these potato recipes coming Judy, you are becoming a favourite potato recipe developer in our house. :D :D
-
Glad you are enjoying them CC - we love potatoes in this house.
-
Definitely looks worth making. :-*
-
JD this was so delicious thank you - we are quite partial to sweet potatoes. A definite repeat in this household.
Cheers - R :)
-
Judy how much does it weigh 1 large sweet potato?
If I can find one which is not very common around here I would like to try this recipe
It looks delicious!!
-
Sorry farfallina, I didn't weigh it but I know I bought a fairly large one (they are all pretty big, some are fatter than others - get a fat one as it makes the job of covering the bottom of the tin much easier & neater) - you won't use it all therefore the size isn't that important and Nico himself doesn't state the weight of the sweet potato.
-
oooh lovely, think the kids would love this, make a great lunch box addition. They don't do much potato but do like sweet potato.
-
OK then JD. I will buy the largest one that I find in the market ;D
-
This looks absolutely delicious, JD, thanks for posting it. I have a sneaking suspicion this will be featuring at a few of my up-coming Xmas parties over the next couple of weeks, as well as get-togethers during the holidays, as well as lunchtime snacks, as well as ..... well, as well as any excuse I can think of to make it without driving all my friends and family nuts!
-
The best thing is that sweet potato is low GI too.
-
Made this as part of dinner tonight - it was so tasty. DH commented that the could eat it alone. Thanks Judy for posting, another will make this a regular. Cheers - Robyn :) :)
-
Thanks Robyn, nice to please the DH. Hope you are enjoying your break and doing plenty of cooking :)
-
Judy I am spending lots of time indoors so it is TMX time. After spending time helping as a result of the floods in Rocky, I am suffering with midges bites, I look like I have chicken pox, a little price compared to the losses of some Rockhampton families. :)
-
Yum made this for dinner. Next time I might steam the sweet potato while making rice.
-
Thanks Denzelmum
-
Thanks again Judydawn, this was great! I really liked the hint of lemon and the rice. I made double quantity in a lasagne dish lined with baking paper. It was great that you didn't have to roast the sweet potato first. Sadly, only one piece left!
-
Thank you, they must have enjoyed it Lellyj if there was only one piece left :D
-
Dear JD,
Thank you very much for posting this. I suddenly remembered tomorrow was shared lunch picnic day and with your recipe made with such accessible ingredients, I can make it up without a mad early rush to the shops.
Expecting yummy results. Thanks again.
-
Have a great picnic Cecilia, hope it's a nice day for you.
-
Thanks, JD. Frittata looks and smells great. Mwah!
-
Have this cooking in the oven right now ready for a shared lunch tomorrow! Looks tasty!
-
I tried this tonight, it was quick, easy and tasty, thinking chopped up shallots and celery would be nice as well,

Hi judy
I finally made this and it was so delicious! :o
I had this recipe in my mind since long time. As I said before sweet potatoes are not very common around where I live. Only a few supermarkets sell them
As soon as I saw them in a supermarket I bought them! I didn't remember how much I needed so I bought 1.5 kg! I made this recipe twice so far and I still have my precious sweet potatoes :D
As you recommended I bought the largest ones I found. I used around 400g potato each time.
Second time I made it I used a small shallot instead of onion. It was like 15g. I liked that too
This gets 5 stars from me! It has already become one of my regulars!
Thank you for sharing it
It was my first time with sweet potato and thanks to you it turned out a great experience. :-*
-
Thanks farfallina, it's nice to be able to introduce something different to you for a change. Glad you enjoyed it after all the trouble you went to to find a sweet potato. :-* :-*
-
Judy I published it in my blog too.. You can see the pics here (http://thermomixtarifdefterim.blogspot.it/2013/01/sweet-potato-frittata.html).
Thanks again :-* :-*
-
It looks lovely farfallina. Your sweet potato was obviously the white one whereas the orange one is more readily available here in Australia. In fact I have never seen the white one but I'm sure it is available at the markets. It makes no difference to the slice, apart from the fact that the orange one is probably slightly sweeter from what I have read.
-
This recipe sounds lovely, do you think you could cook it in the varoma, I have made omelets before, but was wondering if the sweet potato would be cooked enough, I suppose I could steam that first while the rice is cooking! Think I may have answered my own question! Has anyone tried it in the varoma, thanks nicky
-
I think you did answer your own question Nicky - let us know how it goes. You may need to pop it under the griller after it's cooked to brown the top though.
-
Thanks jd! I ended up doing it in the oven, and was so delicious that I just made it again this arvo, love the lemon zest in it,, ready for a bunch of girlfriends coming over tomorrow night, along with the torte caprese, and orange shortbread...... And lets not forget the cocktails! Made a raspberry sorbet to go in a champagne cocktail, and piņa colada.
-
Thanks Nicky, it sounds like a fun night coming up ;D
-
Thank you Judy for a great recipe, made this today and really enjoyed it. Will be definitely making again.

Good to hear Marie.
-
Really liked this! My 13month old adores it & haves 2 serves! LOL thanks for sharing! :)
-
Do you think you could use a mandolin and slice the sweet potatoes that way? I'm just starting on my vegetarian adventure and am looking at many different Vegetarian meals!
-
I don't know how thick a mandolin slices things Nighteyes_fitz, if it's close to 6mm I would say yes.
-
Depending on the mandolin, you can set it to slice different thicknesses. A little experimentation should help you find the correct setting.
-
We really enjoyed this. I used up some caramelised onion in place of the normal onion which gave it a lovely flavour. Will def make again. :D

Good idea Julie, it always adds to the flavour. I still have some in the freezer which I use from time to time in recipes when I remember it's there.
-
Ooh.....that looks delicious, Julie :P
-
Oh wow! That looks amazing!
-
I love sweet potato specials
