Sweet Potato Nachos

Your eyes do not deceive you. Those are indeed Sweet Potato Nachos you’re seeing.

No. I’m not crazy. I know it’s not Thanksgiving, and you didn’t miss out on seven months of life, either.

I may or may not have bought a few too many sweet potatoes in preparation for Easter dinner last weekend, so…I present you with this brainchild! A sort of new take on a loaded sweet potato, but one you can enjoy even in the beginning of spring without feeling like autumn leaves and Christmas shopping are bearing down on you!

Have you ever heard of a clafoutis? I hadn’t until I stumbled upon one on Pinterest randomly one day. I thought it was just a cake, until I saw what the inside looked like.

I was intrigued.

Tomato & Eggs Florentine with Homemade Hollandaise Sauce

Eggs Benedict.

Just the thought of that delicious breakfasty food makes my mouth water, and gets me daydreaming about my next morning off.

It’s such a simple meal, but it’s so buttery and eggy and creamy and wonderful!

Not to mention versatile. I whipped up this Tomato & Eggs Florentine with Homemade Hollandaise Sauce on a whim a few weeks ago. We were sadly out of any sort of ham or bacon for me to use to make the original, but I had some big juicy tomatoes and fresh baby spinach that were willing to do their part to make our breakfast satisfying.
