Notes

I made this recipe very basic, but you could adapt it in many ways, such as:

  • Use shredded, spiralized or cubed sweet potato instead
  • Use less sweet potato and add in other vegetables, such as bell pepper, spinach, kale, mushrooms, onions, garlic, etc.

I also like my eggs with more salt, so I used 3/4 tsp and didn't need to add salt when serving.
