🍠 Sweet Potato Breakfast with Crispy Fried Eggs offers a hearty, nutritious start to your day with a combination of creamy sweet potatoes and perfectly crisp eggs.
🍳 This recipe is quick to prepare and packed with flavors from za’atar, feta cheese, and spicy Urfa Biber, making breakfast both satisfying and delicious.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 2 roasted sweet potatoes with skin on

– 4 eggs

– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus extra for frying)

– Black pepper (to taste)

– Kosher salt (to taste)

– 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

– Za’atar spice blend (for sprinkling)

– Urfa Biber or Aleppo pepper (for sprinkling)

– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or cilantro)

Instructions

Getting started with this breakfast sweet potato is straightforward and fun. Begin by cutting the 2 roasted sweet potatoes in half lengthwise using a sharp knife, which sets the stage for adding other elements. This method ensures the potatoes are ready to absorb flavors while keeping their natural texture.

Next, heat about 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat until it shimmers, then place the sweet potatoes cut side down and cook for about 3 minutes. Once warmed and slightly caramelized, remove them, place cut side up on plates, and slice a pocket down the middle without cutting through the skin for easy topping.

Season the sweet potatoes with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper to taste. In the same pan, add more olive oil and heat until shimmering before cracking in the 4 eggs; cook for about 3 minutes until the whites are fully set and edges turn golden. Lightly season the eggs with salt and pepper, then top each sweet potato half with a fried egg and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, za’atar spice blend, Urfa Biber or Aleppo pepper, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately for the best results.
