How Sweet It Is...

When frosted window panes replace fall’s foliage, we crave winter’s hearty fare. From stews to soups and root vegetables to the treasures of our root cellar (OK, it’s just a basement, but that’s not very poetic), we are inspired to experiment with new flavor combinations. Holiday entertaining lends itself to leftovers and scraps that can easily be transformed into new meals. We challenged ourselves to create new breakfast fare using ingredients in our pantry and refrigerator.


Our winning combination will sweeten your next breakfast, or, at least, warm you from the inside out!

Sweet Potato Hash

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and small diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Leftover meat (optional – add small diced, leftover ham, turkey, bacon, etc!)
Eggs (1 or 2 per person, your choice!)
¼ cup bread crumbs
4 T. butter
Herbs (thyme, sage, rosemary recommended but not required)

1.  Heat olive oil in a 12” skillet over medium heat and add onions and sweet potatoes. Cook until potatoes are al dente. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. Stir in meat and heat through.

2.  Prepare eggs over easy.

3. Distribute hash across serving bowls. Place eggs on top of hash. Melt butter in the skillet you used for the eggs over medium heat. Add herbs and breadcrumbs. Cook until bread crumbs are lightly toasted. Spoon butter herb mixture over eggs.

Serve warm.
