Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day! I like it so much that I eat breakfast food during meals throughout the day.
1) it’s just so damn delicious (pancakes, protein-packed french toast, taquitos, egg muffins – us LG Sisters know how to do breakfast)
2) it’s really easy to keep breakfast foods healthy without sacrificing taste! Enter in… Egg + Sweet Potato Boats!
While the initial 45 minutes of baking the potato is not typical of an LG recipe, it’s a simple bake, set the timer, and go get ready. After that, it’s about ten minutes of hands on prep and every bite will prove to be worth it!
I’m about to whip up another batch because I’m thinking these will be a mean reheat in the AM if we make a few ahead of time. Let me know if you try that out!
I N G R E D I E N T S1 sweet potato
3 oz pork, chicken or turkey sausage (ex: chorizo), sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil

I N S T R U C T I O N S
Preheat oven to 400.
Bake the potato for 45 minutes, or until fork tender.
Place the sausage slices in a small frying pan and brown until cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Wipe the frying pan clean of sausage drippings. Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
While the olive oil is heating, add the chili powder, salt and pepper to the eggs.
Pour the eggs into the pan, and cook to desired scrambled egg consistency.
Halve the cooked sweet potato, and scoop out most of the flesh.
Divide the cooked egg mixture, cooked sausage, and cheese between the sweet potato halves.
Bake until the cheese is melted.
Top with chopped scallions.
