Quick & Delicious Snack: Microwave Sweet Potato Egg Nest Recipe (5 Minutes!)
I often enjoy steamed sweet potatoes as a snack. While they are delicious on their own, adding egg and cheese makes them even more savory and satisfying! This recipe is a delightful way to elevate your sweet potato experience.
Ingredients- 2 steamed sweet potatoes (medium-sized)
- 2 slices of cheese
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- A sprinkle of dried parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare two steamed sweet potatoes. While they are still warm, mash them thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and will add texture.
Step 2
Take a microwave-safe bowl. Spread half of the mashed sweet potato evenly across the bottom. Lay one slice of cheese over the sweet potato, then add the remaining mashed sweet potato on top. Finish by placing the second slice of cheese on the very top.
Step 3
Carefully crack one fresh egg into the center, right on top of the cheese and sweet potato layers. To prevent the yolk from bursting during cooking, gently poke it once or twice with the tip of a fork. This allows steam to escape.
Step 4
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the egg yolk and then dust with dried parsley for a touch of color and flavor. Now, it’s time for the microwave! Instead of cooking it all at once, microwave in 1-minute intervals. Check the egg yolk’s doneness after each minute and add more time as needed until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 5
Your microwave sweet potato egg nest is now ready! Adjust the cooking time to achieve your preferred yolk consistency. I personally prefer a slightly runny yolk, as it mixes beautifully with the melted cheese and sweet potato, creating a wonderfully creamy texture.
Step 6
Take a bite, and you’ll be delighted by the incredible combination of sweet potato, savory cheese, and the rich egg yolk! It’s not overly seasoned but perfectly balanced, offering a comforting and delicious flavor that’s both nutty and satisfying. Enjoy it warm!
