Sweet Potato and Egg Stacks

A twist on eggs Benedict with roasted sweet potatoes replacing English muffins. Topped with avocado mash, poached eggs, and cashew hollandaise. Avocado provides anti-aging inflammation-fighting fatty acids.

From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 0.5-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 ripe medium avocado
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp distilled vinegar
  • 8 large pasture-raised organic eggs
  • 1 cup Cashew Hollandaise
  • 0.5 cup Pickled Red Onions
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. For the potatoes: In a large bowl combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Arrange in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until softened.
  3. For the avocado mash: In a small bowl, use a fork to mash the avocado with the lime zest, juice, and cilantro. Stir in the salt.
  4. For the eggs: Bring a deep pot or saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the vinegar and reduce to a simmer. Crack the eggs into teacups or small bowls. Gently but quickly, add the eggs to the simmering water. Poach for 4 to 5 minutes, until the whites have set completely. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a paper towel–lined plate.
  5. To serve, stack two or three rounds of sweet potato on each plate. Top with a spoonful of mashed avocado and two poached eggs. Drizzle with the hollandaise and garnish with additional cilantro, pickled onions, and a good crack of black pepper.
