Easy Sweet Potato Eggslut Recipe for a Filling Breakfast Alternative
This simple Sweet Potato Eggslut is perfect for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack for kids. It’s a delicious and satisfying dish that’s surprisingly easy to make.
Main Ingredients- 1 medium steamed sweet potato
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 handful of shredded cheese (approx. 30-40g)
- 10g butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your steamed sweet potato. While it’s still warm, place it in a bowl and add 10g of butter. Use a fork to mash the sweet potato until smooth and creamy, ensuring the butter is well incorporated. Transfer the mashed sweet potato to an oven-safe dish or a microwave-safe bowl. Create a circular well in the center by gently pressing down with a spoon or your fingers. This indentation will hold the egg.
Step 2
Carefully crack the fresh egg into the well you’ve made in the center of the mashed sweet potato. Gently place the egg so that it sits nicely within the sweet potato mixture without the yolk breaking.
Step 3
To prevent the egg yolk from bursting during cooking, gently prick it with the tip of a skewer or a fork. Be delicate – just one or two small pricks will suffice to allow steam to escape.
Step 4
Now, it’s time for the microwave! Place the dish with the sweet potato and egg inside and microwave for 1 minute. This will warm the sweet potato through and begin to cook the egg white. Adjust the cooking time slightly based on your microwave’s wattage.
Step 5
After 1 minute, carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheese over the sweet potato eggslut. Return the dish to the microwave and cook for another minute, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley flakes over the top of your finished Sweet Potato Eggslut for a touch of color and freshness. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet potato, creamy egg, and gooey melted cheese! It’s a wonderfully satisfying and simple meal.
