Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the onion finely.
- Crumble the goat cheese and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions.
- Sprinkle the turmeric powder, paprika, and a dash of salt over the sweet potatoes and onions.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet, stir, and cover with a lid.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
- Once the sweet potatoes are tender and the water has mostly evaporated, create two small wells in the sweet potato mixture with a spoon.
- Crack an egg into each well.
- Cover the skillet with the lid again and cook until the eggs are set to your preference, about 5-7 minutes for medium-set yolks.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.
- Add an additional dash of salt if desired.
- Serve the spiced sweet potato and goat cheese egg skillet hot. It makes a perfect main dish for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.
Tips:
- Ensure that the sweet potatoes are diced uniformly for even cooking.
- Feel free to add extra vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking and to make the cooking process easier.
- Sprinkle some fresh herbs such as parsley or chives on top before serving for added freshness.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
This Spiced Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Egg Skillet is a perfect blend of flavors and textures that makes for a wholesome and delicious start to your day. Enjoy this satisfying dish as is, or pair it with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
