Recipe: Sunday Brunching Sausage Skillet

Ingredients:
- 1 pound Pork Breakfast Sausage Links
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large sweet potato – diced
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 4 eggs
Directions:
- In a skillet over medium heat, sear the Italian sausage links for about 2 minutes on each side, then add in ¾ cup water and reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. (about 7-10 minutes) Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
- In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the diced sweet potato. Cook until soft and crispy on the outside, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the spinach and maple syrup to the skillet with the cooked sweet potatoes and sauté until the spinach has wilted.
- Slice the cooked sausage and add to the skillet. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Make four “wells” in the skillet for the eggs. Add the eggs to the skillet and cook until the whites are fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes (to speed up this process, you can cover the skillet with a lid).
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
