Sweet Potato Toast with Fried Eggs
Description
Sweet Potato Toast with Fried Eggs combines thin, lengthwise slices of sweet potato toasted until tender yet retaining some firmness, creating a wholesome alternative to traditional bread toast. The recipe includes frying eggs in butter until the whites are set and the yolks thicken to preference, adding a smooth contrast to the slightly crispy, natural sweetness of the toasted sweet potatoes. Mashed avocado seasoned with salt and pepper tops the toasts, bringing a creamy texture and fresh flavor that complements the eggs and sweet potatoes. Crushed red pepper and chopped parsley add optional seasoning and visual appeal.
Preparation involves slicing the sweet potato about a quarter to a third of an inch thick, seasoning, then toasting until tender. Eggs are fried gently in butter for a rich finish. This dish suits a hearty morning meal or a filling brunch option.
Leftover sweet potato toasts can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days and reheated in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to regain crispness. Serving immediately is recommended for the best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato large
- cooking spray
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 egg
- 1 avocado
- crushed red pepper for serving
- parsley for serving, chopped
Instructions
- Using a large sharp knife starting at the root of the sweet potato, make 4-6 slices lengthwise about 1/4″-1/3″ in thickness. You can keep the skin or discard but it’s more sturdy if you keep the skin.
- Spray the sweet potato slices with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper
- Place the potato slices directly on the wire rack or on a baking dish in the toaster oven and toast the slices on medium-high heat until fork tender, about 9-11 minutes.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the toaster, and set aside on the wire rack.
- Meanwhile fry the eggs. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Break the egg onto the skillet and immediately reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered until whites are completely set and yolks are thickened to your liking, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the mashed avocado on top of the sweet potato slices and top with the fried eggs and crushed red pepper, if desired. Enjoy immediately
Notes
- Leftover sweet potato toast stores well in an airtight container refrigerated for 2-3 days.
- Reheat toast in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
