Ingredients

  • 2 c shredded Sweet potato or yam (1-2 large)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Coconut oil or ghee, melted
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 Sweet onion, chopped
  • 8 Cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 large handful Baby arugula
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Grate sweet potatoes with box grater or food processor then wrap in paper towel to squeeze out excess moisture

Add hash browns to a 9″ pie pan with cooking fat, salt, and pepper, then mix and press evenly into the bottom and up the sides

Bake for 20 minutes or until hash browns are golden brown around the edges

Remove and set aside then turn oven down to 350 degrees

While the crust is baking, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp

Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain

Discard (or keep!) excess bacon grease but leave ~1 tbsp in the skillet

Add onions and saute until translucent, 3-4 minutes

Add tomatoes and arugula and saute for 3-4 more minutes

Add garlic and mix well for 30 more seconds then remove from heat

Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Add the bacon and veggie mixture then stir to combine

Pour mixture over crust and bake for 30 minutes, or until top is light brown

Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving

Try not to eat the whole thing!
