Roasted Sweet Potato and Perfectly Fried Eggs

This is one of my go-to recipes when I need something delicious with very little effort and practically zero cleanup. You can also use just the sweet potato, or just the fried egg portion of this recipe and combine it with other recipes. For instance, you could roast the sweet potato and top it with ground beef or shredded chicken. Or you could roast a bunch of chopped up veggies and top them with a perfectly fried egg.

Ingredients:

1 large, sweet potato, rinsed and scrubbed clean
2-4 Tbsp. Butter, divided
2 eggs
Salt
Pepper
Hot sauce, your choice just make sure it doesn’t have any sugar in it
Goat cheese (omit until after the 14-day Kickstart is complete)

Equipment:

Aluminum foil
Ovenproof skillet

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400F. Tightly wrap your sweet potato in aluminum foil (you are trying to trap the moisture) and place directly on the rack in your preheated oven for 1hr 30 min (i.e.. 90 min). Go do whatever you like for the next 90 minutes.
When your timer goes off, before taking the sweet potato out of the oven, add 2 Tbsp. of butter to your skillet and start preheating it over medium to medium-high heat on the stove. While the skillet is preheating, carefully remove your sweet potato from the oven and place directly on your place. The sweet potato should easily dent when you poke it. Let the sweet potato rest and you continue to prep your eggs.
Your skillet should be very close to preheated by now (if you’re using butter, you’ll know it’s ready when the bubbling and popping stops). Once preheated, add your eggs to the skillet and immediately transfer the skillet to your 400F oven for 3-minutes.
During the 3-minutes, prep your sweet potato. Remove the foil from the sweet potato, split down the middle, and then cut a light cross-hatch pattern into the inside of the sweet potato. Add your remaining butter, salt, pepper, hot sauce, and cheese (if using) and then mash it down a bit with a fork. Once your 3-minute timer goes off, carefully, and immediately slide your eggs from the skillet on top of your sweet potato and top with more salt and pepper. Enjoy!
