Create a veggie filled high protein and high fiber breakfast in minutes. Those with celiac disease won’t miss slices of toast when they can enjoy eggs along with a bed of crispy sweet potatoes.

Since vegetables may be hard to come by at breakfast time, this recipe helps get a few extra servings in. Crunchy sauteed kale mixed with juicy, sweet tomatoes is a winning combination.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped kale
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 4 large eggs

  1. Shred sweet potato using a box grater or julienne peeler.

  2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  3. Add sweet potato, season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. Sauté sweet potatoes for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

  5. Add kale and tomato and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. Once kale is slightly wilted and sweet potato is crispy, transfer to a plate.

  7. Return skillet to the heat and add eggs to the pan; cook as desired.

  8. Serve eggs over sweet potato mixture.

Ingredient Variations and Substitutions

You can follow the same method using regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes for a difference mix of nutrients. A light sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled feta is a wonderful addition to this meal. If you like things spicy hit the finished dish with a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Cooking and Serving Tips

The hash can be make ahead of time a reheated for breakfast or brunch; make the eggs right before serving. A nonstick skillet is best for this as you can use a small amount of oil. A hand held julienne peeler can be found at any kitchen supply store for less than 10 dollars.
