Egg + Sweet Potato Boat Recipe

Course Breakfast

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 3 oz chicken or turkey sausage (ex: chorizo), sliced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 4 eggs, whisked
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp shredded Monterey jack
  • 1 scallion (white and green parts), roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • 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.
