Sausage Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet

I love to cook breakfast. I would have to say it’s one of my favorite parts of my weekend.  It’s so nice to relax in the kitchen and spend some time with good music and the people you love. I’ve actually dedicated a Spotify playlist specifically to this activity called “Sunday Morning Over Easy” Which I would highly recommend following if you enjoy your weekend mornings as much as I do.

So as far as food, I wanted to share a few of my go-to weekend recipes that never let me down.  Most of what I make is pretty simple but never seems to disappoint. This particular recipe actually evolved from a paleo dinner that I made once which wasn’t all that impressive. So the next morning  I decided to try and dress the leftovers up with some eggs and spinach. It turned out amazing and now it’s become one of my most used meals.

Sweet Potato Spinach Sausage Breakfast

 

Add coconut oil to the skillet then add diced sweet potatoes and cover for ten minutes. Stir occasionally.

Add sausage to a separate skillet. Cook, drain grease, and set aside.

Stovetop Breakfast Food

Once sweet potatoes are three quarters of the way cooked add cooked sausage and spinach. Be careful to not overcook the sweet potatoes. End result could be mushy if left on burner too long.

Adding Spinach to skillet
Cover skillet and remove from heat.
Cook eggs over medium.

Eggs in skillet

By now spinach should be steamed and end result should look something like this.

Cooked Breakfast
Place cooked items on to plate and serve with egg on top
