Sweet Italian Sausage Scramble with Sweet Potato Hash

Eggs and sausage and…sweet potato? If you’re used to a side of toast or a muffin with your morning meal, removing that from your routine (because you’re making healthier choices) can feel like it makes breakfast all fall apart.

So, here’s a WLC-compliant sausage scramble recipe that provides a complete, hearty solution for breakfast. Most people don’t think of sweet potato for breakfast, but why not? You eat hash browns and home fries, right?

This sausage scramble with sweet potato offers the same general texture (which is part of what many of us enjoy about “comfort” foods) with a little bit of natural sweetness. The sweet potato pairs extraordinarily well with the heartiness of the eggs and the sharp flavors of the sausage.
