Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes

1 large apple (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and diced into ½-inch pieces

1 medium red onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large eggs

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Crumbled feta or goat cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced sweet potatoes, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the sweet potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and develop a golden brown color.

    Add the Onions and Apples: Incorporate the diced red onion and apple into the skillet. Sprinkle the mixture with ground cinnamon and nutmeg, stirring well to coat the ingredients. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become translucent and the apples soften slightly.

      Cook the Eggs: While the sweet potato mixture is finishing, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Prepare the eggs according to your preference—whether you like them fried, scrambled, or poached. If frying, you may want to add a bit of olive oil or butter to the pan for extra richness.

        Combine and Serve: Once the sweet potato, apple, and onion mixture is perfectly cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Plate generous portions of the sweet potato hash and top each serving with a cooked egg. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for a burst of color. For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top if desired.

          Enjoy! Serve the hash immediately while warm for a hearty and satisfying breakfast.
