Equipment
- Skillet
- Frying Pan
- Peeler
- Chef's Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 pound Brussels sprouts quartered
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 cups mushrooms sliced
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. As the oil shimmers, it’s a sign that it's ready for the next step. This initial heating is crucial because it ensures the vegetables will sauté perfectly and not stick to the pan.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir them gently and allow them to cook until they are soft and slightly browned. This usually takes around 8 to 10 minutes. Season them with salt and pepper to taste as they cook. You want them to develop a nice caramelized exterior that enhances their natural sweetness.
- Once the sweet potatoes are tender, push them to the outside of the skillet. Now, add the diced onion, quartered Brussels sprouts, and sliced mushrooms to the center of the pan. This arrangement allows the different vegetables to cook evenly and share their flavors.
- Cook the mixed vegetables for about 3 to 4 minutes. Keep an eye on them, stirring occasionally. You want the Brussels sprouts to be bright green and tender, while the mushrooms should release their juices. This step is where all the flavors start to meld together!
- Once everything looks beautifully cooked, push the hash to the sides of the skillet again. Now, crack the eggs into the center of the pan. Cover the skillet with a lid and let them steam for a minute or two. This will help achieve a sunny-side-up effect. Be cautious not to overcook the eggs; you want the yolks to remain runny!
- After a couple of minutes, remove the lid and check the eggs. They should have firm whites and runny yolks. If they are cooked to your liking, it’s time to season the entire dish with more salt and pepper as desired. Get ready to serve this gorgeous dish!
