Sweet Potato and Mozzarella Egg Skillet

This easy, inexpensive, 3-ingredient, 15-minute recipe is great for busy nights when you didn’t have time to plan dinner or try it for an easy weekend brunch. The sweet potatoes are soft and tender, and make the perfect base for the warm eggs and gooey melted cheese. It’s comfort food that’s fairly healthy and you it’s made in just one skillet to save time on cleanup.

  • 1 sweet potato medium or large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Piece sweet potato with a fork a few times and cook in the microwave on high power for about 8 minutes, or until sweet potato is soft and done.
  2. While potato is cooking, preheat broiler to high setting and place oven rack on the highest or second highest level.
  3. Slice potato horizontally into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. I keep the skin on, remove it if preferred.
  4. Spray a non-stick skillet or enameled cast iron skillet with cooking spray and place potato rounds in the skillet in an even flat layer; some gaps are okay.
  5. Evenly crack the eggs over the potatoes.
  6. Evenly sprinkle with cheese.
  7. Evenly sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  8. Place skillet under broiler and broil for about 3 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is as browned as desired. I keep the door close the first 2 minutes and in the final minute, I keep the door open and am constantly readjusting the position of the skillet so that I can control what parts are getting the most intense heat from the broiler. Make sure to use a very trusty hot mitt.
  9. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Eggs are best warm and fresh. I serve with ketchup.
