OK, don’t knock it til you try it. I know it’s not a typical combo to put in your eggs…but it’s amazing!!!
This fabulous concoction was born out of wanting more variety to my daily egg breakfast. My typical go-to of tomatoes, garlic and greens (spinach, chard, kale etc.) was needing a little switch-up.
I happened to have some shredded, unpeeled, raw sweet potato from a previous night’s dinner.
“Welp! Let’s see what happens,” I thought, and in they went!To my pleasant surprise, they were awesome! The natural sweetness comes out once they’re cooked, and because of the small shred, they cooked up in a flash with the tomatoes. So now they’re a regular weekly add-in to my morning egg routine. 🙂 But wait! There’s more! Let’s see for a quick sec 8 HEALTH BENEFITS of sweet potatoes, courtesy of MedicalNewsToday.com:
- Great source of beta-carotene –> powerful antioxidant in orange vegetables to reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer, offer protection against asthma and heart disease and delay aging and body degeneration.

These eggs take five minutes or LESS, and are a 100% guilt free breakfast packed with flavor and filling!Here’s how to do it in 5 minutes, with only 5 ingredients: Ingredients: 1 full egg, egg whites, spinach, tomato, and garlic.
- Add olive or grapeseed oil to the saute pan, and throw in the diced tomato and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute to soften tomato.
- Add minced garlic (I like pre-minced in a jar to make it go super fast!) and one LARGE handful of spinach leaves. Wilt and mix for 1 minute.
- Add 1 egg plus extra egg whites to your desired amount (I used boxed whites so I don’t throw away extra yolks). Season with a little more salt and pepper.
- Scramble in the pan until the eggs are the consistency you like them.
