Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and shred the sweet potatoes and carrot using a grater or a food processor.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly.
- In a large skillet, heat half of the coconut oil (about 1/6 cup or 36g) over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded sweet potatoes and carrot to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
- Transfer the cooked sweet potato and carrot mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining coconut oil (36g).
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are soft and any released moisture has evaporated.
- Tear the prosciutto into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until the prosciutto begins to crisp up.
- Remove the mushroom and prosciutto mixture from heat and add it to the bowl with the sweet potato and carrot.
- Grease a muffin tin with a little coconut oil or use muffin liners.
- Evenly divide the sweet potato, carrot, mushroom, and prosciutto mixture among the muffin tin cups, pressing down in the center to form a nest shape with higher edges to hold the egg.
- Crack an egg into each nest.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency (less time for runny yolks, more for fully set yolks).
- Let the nests cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious sweet potato and prosciutto breakfast nests!
Tips:
- Use a spiralizer to create uniform sweet potato and carrot spirals for even cooking and an attractive presentation.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini for an extra nutritional boost.
- Make sure to oil the muffin tin well to prevent the nests from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- For a crispy texture, allow the edges of the sweet potatoes to brown slightly before adding the eggs.
- If you prefer your eggs well done, bake the nests for a few extra minutes after adding the eggs.
