Ingredients
Method
Crisp Bacon & Sear Sweet Potatoes
- Crisp the Bacon: Heat a 12-inch seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add chopped halal beef bacon or turkey bacon and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until deeply browned and crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in the skillet.
- Caramelize Sweet Potatoes: Add olive oil to the hot skillet. Add diced sweet potatoes in an even layer. Let cook undisturbed for 4 minutes to develop a rich golden crust. Stir and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until fork-tender with crispy browned edges.
Sauté Veggies & Season
- Sauté Aromatics: Push sweet potatoes slightly to the side. Add diced onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until tender and fragrant.
- Season & Wilt Spinach: Sprinkle smoked paprika, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper over the skillet. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Add baby spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until just wilted.
Cook Eggs & Serve
- Nestle Eggs: Return crisp bacon to the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to create 4 shallow wells in the sweet potato hash. Gently crack one egg into each well.
- Cover & Set Whites: Reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet tightly with a lid or foil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks remain velvety and runny. Garnish with sliced scallions and avocado, and serve warm immediately straight from the skillet!
