Sausage & Sweet Potato Breakfast Scramble

Servings: 3
Calories: 344kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1/3 lb pork breakfast sausage casings removed
  • 6 eggs
  • handful spinach
  • sprinkle chili powder
  • sprinkle paprika
  • sprinkle garlic salt
  • sprinkle salt & pepper
  • cooking fat of choice (I used avocado oil)

Instructions

  • Heat the sweet potato in the microwave for about 3 minutes, or until it is slightly softened.  Cut it into cubes and set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs with a sprinkle of each seasoning in a large bowl, and set that aside as well.  (I used about 1/4 tsp of each spice)
  • In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium high heat until it is broke up and browned throughout.  
  • Add the sweet potatoes, and sauté until they are lightly browned around the edges- about 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and use your rubber spatula or wooden spoon to move all of the sausage & sweet potato to the outside edges of the pan- leaving an empty circle in the middle.
  • Fill the center with about a tablespoon of avocado oil (or cooking fat of choice), and pour in the seasoned eggs.  Top with a handful of spinach, torn into pieces.
  • Allow the eggs to cook on bottom for about 1 minute, then use your rubber spatula to continuously scrape the pan & fold the sausage/sweet potato mixture into the cooking eggs.
  • Continue to cook until the eggs are set.
  • Serve scrambled or wrapped in a Paleo Wrap as a breakfast burrito!
