What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? After the Holidays: Egg & Sweet Potato Boats! Breakfast just got more interesting. And so did you. Because today, this Paleo breakfast may leave you feeling like a superhero, “able to leap tall buildings in a single bound”. It not only gives you a nutrient-rich vegetable, it also provides protein in the animal form of bacon and eggs! That fact alone ups your intake of vitamins and minerals without leaving you feeling meh and bloated. Digestion improves as energy levels rise, which leaves me asking one final question: Which superhero are you?
EGG & SWEET POTATO BOATS
Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato, halved, washed and patted dry
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 large eggs
2 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
Sriracha, to taste
Fresh oregano, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Once the sweet potatoes have been washed and patted dry, rub skins with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and place cut side down in a shallow pan that has been sprayed with nonstick oil. Bake for about one hour, or until tender. Remove sweet potatoes from oven. With tongs, flip sweet potatoes over so skin side is down. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the center to form a well for one egg. Crack an egg into each sweet potato boat. Return pan to oven; bake 20 minutes, or until eggs are set. Remove from oven. Crumble bacon over top. Drizzle with sriracha sauce. Garnish with fresh oregano leaves. Serve warm.
Love this recipe. Maybe tomorrow for breakfast.

That’s a great (and healthy) idea! I’ve seen people cook eggs in avocados and peppers but not potatoes yet.

I would never think to combine a sweet potato with an egg. What a sheltered culinary life I lead!

It’s pretty simple actually. Combine the foods you like to make a meal. My husband loves sweet potatoes, so I often fry them up for breakfast with eggs and toast. It works. 🤔
