Instructions
Sweet Potato:
- Wash and carefully cubed your sweet potato into small pieces. Add to a baking sheet and spray with olive oil.150 g (1 cups) Sweet Potato, 3 second Olive Oil Spray
- Season with salt and pepper and then give it a quick mix to evenly coat in everything. Air roast at 375° for 8-10 minutes.Salt & Pepper
Poached Eggs:
- Bring a pot of water to boil and either use the swirl method to poach your eggs or I recommend getting a silicone egg poacher basket. It makes things so much easier!2 Large Brown Egg
- Crack your egg into a sieve and let any excess egg whites separate. This will allow for a cleaner poached egg.
- For the basket method, once the water is boiling, add in your silicone egg poacher and lower the temperature to settle down the bubbles. After about a minute, drop in your egg and it will encase it and cook it.
- After 2-3 minutes, use a large ladle spoon to remove the egg. Repeat these steps for the second egg.
Breakfast Sausage:
- I will usually just microwave my sausage for about 30-45 seconds to cook but you can also always cook on a stove or in your toaster oven (just keep in mind it will add to your total time).1 Veggie Breakfast Sausage
- Once cooked, slice into strips for easy bites.
Bowl:
- In your swerving bowl/plate, add your sweet potatoes, dollops of cottage cheese, the poached eggs, and season the latter two with salt & pepper to taste.55 g (0.25 cups) Low Fat Cottage Cheese, Salt & Pepper

Toppings:
