Ingredients

  • 12 ounces bacon chopped
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 cups fresh greens like spinach or arugula
  • 4 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes diced
  • 1 ripe avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a cast iron skillet over medium heat, until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  • Fry the eggs in the bacon grease. Cook the eggs over easy, or to to your preference. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and set aside.
  • Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the bacon grease and cook for about five minutes. Sprinkle with the cumin.
  • Add the chopped red onion, minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, with the sweet potatoes. Add a lid and cook until soft.
  • Turn the heat off and add in the greens. The heat from the vegetables will wilt the greens just enough.
  • Sprinkle with salt to taste. I added about a teaspoon.
  • Add the eggs back on top.
  • Sprinkle with the cooked bacon, tomatoes, feta cheese, parsley and cherry tomatoes.

Notes

  • You may remove a bit of the bacon grease after cooking the bacon if the bacon you have is extra greasy.
  • I like to cook the eggs just enough so the yolk is still runny. It tastes delicious when it runs down over the vegetables.
  • This recipe is pretty flexible. If you don't have tomatoes it is totally fine, you could even swap in some peppers.
