- 3 teaspoons neutral cooking oil for frying, divided
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 small yellow onion peeled and minced
- 1 red bell pepper trimmed, seeded, and small-diced
- 1 green bell pepper trimmed, seeded, and small-diced
- 1 Serrano pepper optional, trimmed and small-diced
- 1 small sweet potato trimmed and small-diced
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne powder optional
- 2 scallions trimmed and minced, white and green parts kept separate
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the Maple Syrup:
In a bowl, combine the maple syrup, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne powder and stir to combine.
Finish the Sweet Potatoes:
Scramble the Eggs:
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and cream and add a sprinkle of salt. Wipe out the skillet and turn the heat to low.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the eggs and allow them to set up for 2-4 minutes. Once the bottom is set up and the top is still liquid, add the reserved peppers and onion and mix gently into the eggs.
Continue mixing occasionally until the eggs are almost completely set up and cooked through. Turn off the heat and allow the residual heat to finish cooking the eggs. Taste and season again to your preference.
