Recipe type: Main Course
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 baked sweet potato
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices whole wheat sourdough bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-2 tsp olive oil
  • red onion slices
  • 1 handful baby arugula
  • 1 avocado
Instructions
  1. Mash the sweet potato with the garlic, onion powder, cumin, salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. Set aside.
  2. Heat about 1 teaspoon oil in a shallow pan or griddle over a medium flame. Put 2 slices of bread on, cooking for 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
  3. If the pan needs more oil, pour a little more on. Using a cookie cutter or cup, cut out a circle in each of the remaining slices of bread, then add to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Flip the bread over and carefully pour an egg into each hole. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then very carefully flip over once more and cook for 30-60 seconds. The whites should be just set and the yolks runny.
  5. On the whole pieces of bread, layer mashed sweet potato, red onion, arugula, and avocado, then top with the egg in a hole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
*TO MAKE THE SWEET POTATO: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the potato and wrap it in tin foil. Bake for about 20-30 minutes, until soft enough to pierce easily with a fork. Slice in half to cool. (You can make the sweet potato ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few days until ready to make your Egg in a Hole sandwiches!)
