Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 onion
- 2 bell peppers
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning:
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, preparing your cooking surface.
- Drop 2 medium sweet potatoes (diced) into the hot pan, spreading them evenly to ensure each piece touches the surface.
- Let sweet potato pieces sizzle and transform, stirring occasionally, until they soften and develop golden edges, approximately 10 minutes.
- Introduce 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped bell peppers to the skillet, combining them with the sweet potatoes.
- Continue cooking the vegetable medley, stirring gently, until everything becomes tender and slightly caramelized, around 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper across the vegetable mixture, seasoning to your taste preference.
- Create four small indentations or wells within the vegetable landscape using the back of a spoon.
- Carefully crack 1 egg into each prepared well, keeping the yolks intact.
- Lower skillet heat, cover with a tight lid, and allow eggs to set for 5 minutes until whites are firm and yolks reach your desired consistency.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Dice sweet potatoes into uniform, small cubes so they cook evenly and develop a nice golden-brown exterior.
- For a vegetarian version, swap eggs with scrambled tofu or skip protein entirely and add extra vegetables like spinach or kale.
- Choose fresh, farm-fresh eggs with bright yellow yolks for the best flavor and appearance in this hearty breakfast dish.
