Spiralized Sweet Potato Egg Nests

Spiralized Sweet Potato Egg Nests combine tender, sautéed sweet potato noodles formed into nests that hold cracked eggs cooked until the whites are set. Garnished with salt, pepper, fresh herbs, seeds, and spices, these nests offer a visually appealing breakfast or brunch dish. The sweet potatoes provide a slight sweetness and soft texture, which contrasts with the rich, creamy eggs and varied garnishes.

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 tbsp ghee or avocado oil
  • 4 egg large
Garnish
  • salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spiralize the sweet potato. If spiralizing with the skin, make sure that it's thoroughly washed and scrubbed beforehand.
  2. Use kitchen scissors to cut the sweet potato noodles into smaller lengths, which will help them form into nests.
  3. Heat the ghee in a large pan on medium heat and add the sweet potato noodles. Use tongs to cook and toss the noodles for a couple of minutes, or until they've started to soften. Then, use your tongs to form them into individual nests with a little well in the middle.
  4. Crack one egg on top of each sweet potato nest. Then, add a lid and cook the eggs until the whites are cooked and the yolks have reached your desired level of done.
  5. Top the sweet potato egg nests with garnishes and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Depending on your sweet potato size, you may have leftover noodles; save extras for meal prep or another recipe.
  • If new to spiralizing, consider reviewing beginner guides or tutorials for best results and safety.
  • The recipe uses a Paderno Spiralizer, but other spiralizers will work similarly.
