Fall Sweet Potato Fried Eggs


So I actually made this recipe a while ago and it was absolutely delicious! And sooo easy!! I thought it would make a great fall dish if you are home alone for dinner or it can be great for the whole family if you are looking for something quick and vegetarian :)

Fall Sweet Potato Fried Eggs:

Makes 1 serving 

1/2 sweet potato cubed (I used a baked one from the night before but popping it in the microwave for a few minutes will precook it enough so its not crunchy when all the other veggies are overcooked).
1 clove fresh garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup of chopped onion
1/4 cup of fresh, sliced mushrooms
1 handful of fresh baby spinach
2 eggs
1 tsp basil
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1 tbsp olive oil

Begin by heating the olive oil in a pan and then adding the sweet potatoes, garlic, onions and mushrooms. Heat on med-low until veggies begin to soften and onions begin to caramelize. Add the spinach and stir. Now add the basil, garlic salt and pepper (and any other herbs or spices you love). Once the spinach is cooked, push everything around the sides of the pan and turn down the heat to low. You may need to add extra olive oil if you do not have a "no-stick" pan. Crack 2 eggs in the hole you created in the pan and add a dash of salt and pepper to the eggs if desired. I left these eggs sunny-side up, so I placed a large lid on top to cook the eggs from the top down as well. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking (usually around 5 minutes), remove everything from the pan onto a plate. I did this by sliding everything at once right off the pan onto my plate and voila! You are ready to eat. Happy fall eating :D
