Purple sweet potato

3 slice of bread (I used wholemeal bread)

Milk

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀:

- Steam the sliced sweet potato for 15 mins until soft.

- Spread sweet potato on first slice of bread

- Add another piece of bread & spread another layer of sweet potato

- Add the 3rd piece aka the last piece

- crack 1 egg, add milk and beat them together

- Coat the bread evenly all over with the beaten egg.

- Heat oil/ butter in pan (if butter, until melted before you add the bread)

- Add the bread and pan fry about 3 mins until it’s golden brown and flip over to pan fry the another side.

- Once all sides is golden brown, remove from pan.

- Cut accordingly to desired size and it’s ready to serve!

... Read moreI love experimenting with different ways to enjoy sweet potatoes, especially for breakfast or a quick snack. This purple sweet potato sandwich recipe is a great way to combine natural sweetness with savory flavors, especially if you like adding a bit of cheese to the mix. Although this recipe doesn't include cheese, you can easily add a thin layer of cheese between the sweet potato layers for a delightful creamy texture and added flavor. When preparing sweet potatoes for the filling, steaming them until tender is key—this keeps the flavors vibrant and the texture smooth. I usually mash the sweet potatoes with a splash of milk and a pinch of salt to balance the natural sweetness. For a richer taste, try using butter instead of milk or adding a little cinnamon or nutmeg. Using wholemeal bread adds extra fiber and makes the sandwich more filling. Coating the sandwich with beaten egg and pan-frying it until golden brown gives it a crunchy exterior while keeping the inside soft and warm. This technique is similar to making French toast but with a savory sweet potato twist. This recipe is versatile and can be enjoyed as a wholesome breakfast, a nutritious lunch, or even a tasty snack. Feel free to customize the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup on top after frying, or add toppings like fresh fruits or nuts for added texture. I found that pairing this sandwich with a cup of tea or coffee makes a perfect start to the day. Give it a try—you might find your new favorite way to enjoy sweet potatoes!
