Sweet Potato and Vegan Sausage Breakfast Hash
with eggs

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
It can be a challenge to get all of the ingredients in a breakfast hash to finish cooking at the same time, so this recipe calls for pre-cooking the sweet potatoes to give them a head start. Finish this one-pan meal with eggs cracked and cooked right in the hash.
Smarts: Keep an eye on the ingredients as they cook on the bottom of the pan. The goal is to get a deep golden brown on the vegan sausage and vegetables without letting them burn, so adjust the heat as needed. Adding water before adding the spinach and eggs helps to keep the right amount of moisture in the bottom of the pan as the eggs cook.

Make

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Once shimmering, add onions and sausage and saute until onions are very tender and sausage is starting to brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add pre-cooked sweet potatoes and spice blend. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes more, letting potatoes brown a little on the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add water and spinach and saute until spinach reduces slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Use the back of a spoon to form small “nests” (for the eggs) in the vegetable mixture. Crack the eggs directly into these spaces.
  5. Lower heat to medium. Cover and cook until eggs are done to your liking, ~5 minutes.
  6. Top hash with chives and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top. Add some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
