Those of you that enjoy a more savory breakfast, this is the perfect dish for you. It was surprisingly lighter than I expected, due to the delicious swiss chard. Usually when I eat sweet potato the dish seems heartier, but I didn’t get that feeling from this recipe. It also had a bit of a smoky salty flavor from the bacon that complimented the other ingredients well. I would serve this as a side dish or with some fried, poached or sous vide eggs to serve at breakfast. It is an ideal dish for brunches or served as a side for your dinner entrée.

This was delicious! I made it this weekend, but used kale instead of swiss chard because that is what I had 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Oh that’s a great idea! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
