If not, just combine tonight's portion with 1 3/4 cups (411 ml) of water. Add in a generous dash of salt. Bring to a boil covered.

Make

  1. Whisk shallots, mustard, vinegar, sweetener and olive oil together to make a vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  2. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then sweet potatoes to heated oil with a sprinkle of salt. Add 2 tbs. (30 ml) of water to the pan, cover with a lid, and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until sweet potatoes are almost cooked through (softened but still a bit crunchy)
  3. Add in mushrooms with some more salt and saute until cooked, ~ 3 to 5 minutes
  4. Toss all ingredients except butter and eggs with vinaigrette. Warm ingredients will wilt spinach and melt cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper and divide up into servings
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-heat. Add butter and then fry eggs in melted butter (cook in batches if not enough room). Sprinkle with salt and cook until egg whites are set. Cover skillet with a lid or create a cover with foil (for a griddle) to help egg whites set faster. Top each salad with your fried egg. Break into it and watch the goodness ooze!
