Here’s a new favorite for breakfast: Sweet Potato Hash with Perfect Fried Eggs.
I’ve been ditching cereal for the last month or so now and replacing it mostly with eggs. I am crazy about this healthy breakfast recipe- a bed of delicious and colorful vegetables topped with perfectly fried eggs. It’s a good way to start the day off right. I seriously make this recipe about every other day for breakfast. I love it!
Start this recipe off by sautéing onion, zucchini and sweet potato in a little bit of butter, ghee or coconut oil. I like to stir them all around until very soft and lightly browned.
Then you’ll add in some chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook those until softened too. The whole sauté process takes just about 7 minutes.
Once your veggies are done, it’s time to fry the eggs.
To make perfect fried eggs: I melt a little bit of butter, ghee or coconut oil in a small pan… then add my eggs… then put a lid on top to let them get cooked through to perfection on top (it just takes about 3 minutes).
They come out perfect every time…
…just a little bit runny inside. That’s the way I like them! This breakfast is filling and good-for-you all the way around. Eggs are a healthy protein which keeps you full longer… plus, the veggies make them extra special. That’s all good since I’m usually very active with exercise and dog walking in the mornings. This is my favorite recipe to make for breakfast these days!
