Foodie Friday: Sweet Potato and Egg Skillet

Today I'll be sharing with you a versatile recipe that is amazing for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's colorful, packed full of nutrients, and tastes absolutely delicious.

Sweet Potato and Egg Skillet

Ingredients:

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced

1 small yellow onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup of chopped kale*

2 eggs**

Seasoning of your choice

Begin by prepping your ingredients. Peel and dice the sweet potato, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and de-rib and chop the kale. Add to the skillet, on medium high heat, about a tablespoon of both butter** and olive oil. Begin sauteing the sweet potato and onion for about 4-5 minutes or until they begin to become tender. Then, add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. When the garlic has become tender, add the kale and place a lid on the skillet, cooking another 2 minutes or so until the kale begins to wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Once the kale has softened, make a well in the center of the skillet and crack in two eggs. I add a little bit of Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel Seasoning to my eggs at this point, as well. Place a lid and cook for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are at your desired consistency. Transfer to a plate or eat it right out of the skillet (be careful, it's hot!) and if you've got a love of spice like me, add a few shakes of Tabasco or your favorite hot sauce.

* If kale isn't your thing, I've also made this dish with spinach and it's SO GOOD. Keep in mind, though, cooking time may be reduced a little because spinach is not as tough as kale.

** If you are vegan, eliminate butter completely and replace eggs with tofu for a delicious sweet potato tofu scramble.
