  • 1 grater or food processor to shred sweet potatoes
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small sweet potato peeled and grated
  • 3 tbsp. salted butter divided use
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/8 tsp. dried parsley divided use

  • 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/3 cup bacon cooked, diced
  • 1/3 cup ham diced
  • 1/3 cup mild pork sausage cooked and drained

Instructions
 

  • Melt two tablespoons butter in small non-stick skillet.
  • Sauté sweet potatoes in butter.
  • Season with salt, pepper, thyme, parsley and Italian seasoning.
  • Cook and stir until sweet potatoes are fork tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to an 8-inch oven-proof serving skillet or 8-inch round glass baking dish.
  • Top with both cheeses.
  • If meat is cold, warm slightly in skillet that you cooked the sweet potatoes in.
  • Transfer meat to serving skillet and place on top of cheeses.
  • Heat in a pre-heated 350 degrees oven for about 5 minutes.
  • If using a glass baking dish, microwave about one minute to heat and melt cheeses.
  • In non-skillet, melt remaining butter.
  • Fry two eggs (sunny-side up) in a tablespoon of butter until cooked.
  • Season with salt, pepper a dash each of parsley, thyme and Italian seasoning while cooking.
  • Remove skillet from oven or dish from microwave.
  • Slide eggs, sunny-side up over top of meats.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

NOTE: This recipe will go much quicker if you pre-cook the bacon and sausage.
 
NOTE: You can also pre-cook the sweet potatoes to save time.
 
NOTE: If cooking for more than one, I recommend using a griddle and pre-cook the meat and potatoes the night before.
 
NOTE: This provides one very hearty breakfast. Most people would make two servings out of this entree.
