We are big fans of this recipe around here. It’s versatile enough to be eaten at any meal while also being a breeze to “throw” together. I love that I can get some extra veggies and protein into my littles. Arguably the best part? It’s a one-skillet meal which means no extra pots or pans. You’re going to love it!
Tips for Baked Eggs and Spicy Sweet Potato Hash
- You want to dice your sweet potatoes relatively small. The smaller the dice, the faster they’ll cook in the pan; bigger pieces would ideally need to be boiled.
- This is a one-pot recipe. I love making this in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Any heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet will work, as long as it is oven-proof.
- Make it spicy! Or not…really whichever you’d like. I used red Fresno chili pepper because I love the subtle sweet heat it brings. Other great options include serranos, jalapenos, Thai, or hatch (if you can find them)
- Pack in the veggies! This version is straightforward and simple. However, you can add just about anything: bell peppers, spinach, kale, carrots, or mushrooms.
- Don’t overbake your eggs! The eggs will look slightly underdone and opaque, but they will carry over cooking slightly.
That’s it! Baked eggs and spice sweet potato hash is a great twist to the standard skillet hash. It’s that salty sweet spicy goodness that comes together in a pinch. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Enjoy!
