A good egg hash is one of my favorites go to brunch items since it’s a good way to clean out the fridge, not to mention it’s hearty, satisfying, and full of protein & good carbs.
Over the past few years I’ve made countless combinations of an egg hash that I can’t wait to share with you guys.

All that barbecue flavor for brunch, minus standing in front of a hot grill.

Recipe Card
7 Ingredient Spicy BBQ Sweet Potato & Egg Hash
Healthy, Gluten-free, Dairy-freeIngredients
- 1.5 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 large sweet potato small cubes
- 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
- ½ medium red onion chopped
- 3 tablespoon Trader Joe’s Organic Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce & Marinade
- to taste black pepper
- pinch of salt BBQ sauce has salt
- 4 eggs cracked over
- few chives chopped
Instructions
- Heat up a cast-iron skillet on medium heat.
- While the skillet heats up, peel the sweet potatoes.
- Once the skillet is hot, add oil and crushed red pepper. The pepper will sizzle, cook for 10 seconds or so.
- Add the sweet potato, stir and cook on medium heat for about 8 minutes uncovered.
- In the meantime, chop the green bell pepper and red onion. Stir the sweet potato in between.
- Once 8 minutes are up, add the bell pepper and onion to the sweet potato. Season with black pepper and just a pinch of salt (you don't need much since the bbq sauce has enough sodium).
- Stir and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 6 minutes. Stir in between to prevent burning.
- In the meantime chop the chives and set aside.
- Check on the sweet potato - should be fork tender.
- Now add barbecue sauce, I love this one from Trader Joe's, but you can use any kind.
- Stir and cook for about 1 minute until the sauce warms up.
- Now crack 3-4 eggs over the sweet potato.
- Cover with a lid and cook for 7 minutes. For slightly runny eggs cook for 5 minutes.
- Eggs are done.
- Garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
** For the eggs, you can use up to 4 eggs in this dish, and you may also use egg whites.
