Ingredients
portabella mushrooms
3
diestel breakfast sausage
6 ounces

2 stalks
free range eggs
6
green onions
2 stalks
olive oil
2 tsps
sweet potato
0.5
water
0.25 cup
Method
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat about two teaspoons of olive oil on medium heat.
- Add the chopped sweet potato and saut 3 or 4 minutes before adding a little liquid and covering. In about 2 minutes, check to see if the liquid has burned off. If it has, add a little more and cover again. Repeat this several times until the sweet potato is soften, but still al dente.
- Add the mushrooms and the chopped chard stems. Saut another 3 to 5 minutes and add additional liquid if necessary.Move the veggies to one side of the skillet with a wooden spoon and add the ground breakfast sausage. Brown the meat and using the wooden spoon break it apart. Continue sauting until the sausage is cooked all the way through.Immediately add the green onion and chard leaves. Allow to steam for about 30 seconds before pouring the scrambled egg mixture evenly over the meat and veggies. This is where the technique comes in. Avoid the temptation to stir. Simply allow the skillet to sit 2 to three minutes. Then, using a wooden spoon or spatula, begin flipping sections of egg and veggies (similar to how you would fold whipped egg whites into a cake batter, just gently fold the scramble onto itself). Once all sections have been flipped over, everything to sit and cook another 2 or 3 minutes. Repeat the flipping. Continue doing this until the egg is no longer cooking to the skillet.
- Serve with your favorite toppings!
