Prep: n/a mins | Cook: 10 mins
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 medium/large sweet potatoes, cooked and cooled
- 100g grated mozzarella and cheddar
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp red pesto or chilli oil
- 4 large FREE eggs
- To serve
- Soured cream or creme fraiche
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- Crispy onions
- Chives, finely chopped
- You will need
- Burger press (or small frying pan)
- Parchment paper
Method
- Cut the cooked sweet potatoes in half to create 4 portions. Place each piece between two sheets of parchment paper and squash down into patties using a burger press or the base of a small frying pan.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and make 4 small piles of grated cheese roughly the same size as your patties. Let the cheese melt and sizzle before carefully placing the sweet potato patties on top.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes until the cheese turns beautifully golden and crisp underneath. Carefully flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until both sides are deliciously crispy.
- Meanwhile, heat a second frying pan and spoon in 4 dollops of pesto or chilli oil. Crack a FREE egg onto each one and fry for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set and the edges are lovely and crispy.
- To serve, place a sweet potato patty onto each plate and top with a fried FREE egg. Add a generous spoonful of soured cream or crème fraiche, then season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Finish with crispy onions and fresh chives for the ultimate crunchy, creamy, golden bite.
