Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dairy
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
Sweet Potato Roasting
- 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and diced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnishes and Optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley (optional)
- Hot sauce or avocado slices for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the peeled and diced sweet potato with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them out evenly and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden and tender.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the sweet potatoes roast, whisk the eggs with milk or cream in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy for a tender scramble.
- Cook the Soft Scrambled Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit without stirring for a few seconds to begin setting. Gently stir and scrape the eggs from the edges toward the center using a rubber spatula. Continue cooking slowly and gently, adding the remaining butter as needed, until the eggs are softly set, creamy, and just cooked through—avoid overcooking to maintain softness.
- Plate and Garnish: Serve the soft scrambled eggs alongside the roasted sweet potatoes on plates. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Add hot sauce or avocado slices for extra flavor and creaminess if you like.
Notes
- For additional flavor, consider roasting the sweet potatoes with a pinch of cumin or chili powder.
- Keep the skillet heat low while scrambling the eggs to achieve a creamy texture and prevent them from becoming dry or rubbery.
- You can substitute cream with milk or a non-dairy milk if preferred for the scramble.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and spices, depending on your preference.
