Sweet Potato Breakfast Nachos

@cokocooks

One of my favorite meals are sweet potato nachos. I love the slight sweetness you get from the potatoes with all the delicious toppings. I made these for myself one night and thought I could really eat these for every single meal. Then I had a idea in my head to make breakfast style nachos. I’m going to be honest and say I am not sure which I prefer, the breakfast or the dinner. These sweet potato breakfast nachos are filled with all the classic breakfast toppings to make for a satisfying breakfast or brunch anytime of the week.

Ingredients

These nachos ofcourse start with a base of sweet potato. My favorite sweet potato is the japenese sweet potato, but use whatever you have available. Once you roast the sweet potatoes to be nice and crisp it is time the add the cheese. I choose mozzarella for a nice creaminess to pair with all the other toppings, but you can change it to whatever cheese you prefer. Next up is the meat. Now I have been a sausage lover since I was little, but you could always substitute bacon. Then time to add the scrambled eggs. I made sure to cook them low and slow so they were nice and fluffy. Next I layered on some fresh red pepper slices for a little crunch. The final main ingredient is some creamy avocado which is a required ingredient for savory breakfast in my opinion. Then just garnish the nachos with a little salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro.

This whole meal can also be made vegan using vegan and dairy free substitutes for the meat, eggs, and cheese. It is a meal that does not require dishes because it is just fun to eat right off the pan. Theses sweet potato breakfast nachos are one of my absolute favorite breakfast because you get a little bit of all your favorite breakfast foods. The other part I love about this meal is how well rounded it is. You have a great source of protein, carbs, and fats to make a healthy and filling meal. So it taste amazing, it is comforting, it is fairly easy, and everyone will absolutely love it. I hope those are enough reason to convince you to make this delicious breakfast!
