A little breakfast anyone?




Breakfast Bowl For One

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 slice thick cut bacon
  • 1/2 sweet potato, grated
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 basil leaves, torn
  • 1 pinch coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat a medium skillet over medium. Add the bacon and cook until rendered and crispy, 6 minutes. Remove from pan and place on some paper towels to soak up the fat. Drain all but 1 Tbs. bacon fat. Once bacon has cooled, chop it into crumbles.
  2. Add the grated sweet potato to the pan, and season with cumin, chili powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute potatoes until they soften and are browned on all sides, 8 minutes.
  3. Scoot the hash browns to one side and add the spinach. Cook to wilt, 2 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, bring a small saucepan to a boil. Add the egg, cover and boil for 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and gently peel the shell under cool running water. With only 6 minutes you will end up with a soft boiled egg. Add two minutes for a thicker yolk, and go a full 10 to 12 for a hard boiled.
  5. Arrange the hash browns in the bottom of a small bowl. Place the spinach on top, followed by the egg, split in half. Garnish with another small pinch of salt, black pepper, the crumbled bacon and the torn basil leaves.





Buon Appetito!
