Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach (optional)
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnish
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the peeled and diced sweet potato with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Roast until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: While the sweet potatoes roast, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk or cream, salt, and black pepper, then whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Cook Soft Scrambled Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently and continuously with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to create small, soft curds. Cook slowly for 5-7 minutes until eggs are creamy and softly set.
- Add Spinach (Optional): If using baby spinach, add it to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Stir it gently until wilted and incorporated with the eggs.
- Plate and Garnish: Serve the soft scrambled eggs alongside the roasted sweet potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra protein, add a side of avocado slices or cooked turkey sausage.
- You can substitute sweet potatoes with roasted butternut squash or regular potatoes for variety.
