A Delicious Whole30 Breakfast Option
If you’re like me, having a healthy breakfast planned and ready to go makes it so much easier to stick to healthy eating.
I am super lazy about eating in the mornings. I either skip it all together or grab something quick that isn’t exactly smart fuel for my morning.
That’s why I am making more of an effort to prepare dishes like this sweet potato breakfast skillet that taste just as great cold the day after as they do hot out of the oven.
Whether you are looking for a delicious, family-friendly option for a slow Saturday morning, or a healthy prep to make for yourself to get you through a busy week, this Whole30 breakfast skillet won’t disappoint!
You’ll Love this Skillet Because:
- In one pan, you get it all! Healthy carbs from the sweet potatoes, protein and flavor from the bacon and eggs, and some green goodness from the kale.
- An easy blend of Southwest seasonings gives this a flavor-kick with a little spice.
- It bakes in the oven — first soften the sweet potatoes and the onions, then add the bacon and kale, and last add the eggs so everything comes out baked perfectly without any need to dirty a second pan.
The Sharp SuperSteam+ Built-In Wall Oven
I have had such a great time learning how to use the different features of my Sharp SuperSteam+ Built-in Wall Oven.
While it does bake with superheated steam, it also uses convection, and has special settings for proofing bread doughs, baking breads, steaming foods, and evening broiling and grilling.
The superheated steam allows the oven to bake faster than a conventional oven, while keeping food moist. The Convection Bake, Grill and Roast modes are all great for browning meats and creating great crusts.
I love doing dishes like this Sweet Potato Skillet in my steam oven. If you think this might be the perfect addition to your dream kitchen, hop on over to Sharp Home USA’s website and learn more about it.
How to Make a Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet
Step 1: Add avocado oil to a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet (be sure the skillet fits in the steam oven first!), and then add the chopped sweet potato, onions, and spices. Cook the sweet potato mixture on the stovetop over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the onions and sweet potatoes have softened.
Step 2: Into the skillet, add the kale and the bacon. Mix the kale into the sweet potatoes, and place the bacon on top so it crisps and helps keep the kale from burning. Place the skillet in the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Take the skillet out of the oven (being careful of the very hot handle!), and use a wooden spoon to make 4 divots in the mixture. Place an egg in each divot. If you need to cook more eggs, you can probably fit up to 6 in the skillet. Return the skillet to the oven to cook the eggs for 7-10 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
Step 4: Garnish the skillet with chopped green onions, if desired. Otherwise, serve hot.
This makes a great meal prep option, so if you are just feeding yourself, enjoy one portion hot and pack up the other portions for meals for the next few days. This last 3-4 days in an air tight container in the fridge.
Variations on this Healthy Breakfast Skillet
- You can lower the carbs and calories in this skillet by using butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes. The butternut squash will cook faster than sweet potatoes, so lower the cooking time in step 1 by about 5 minutes.
- Not a sweet potato fan? You can sub regular white potatoes in here and follow the rest of the instructions as written.
- Need this dish to be vegetarian? Just omit the bacon!
- Add in other veggies, such as chopped peppers, broccoli, cauliflower or chard. Add these vegetables in the same time you add the kale and bacon.
