Ingredients

• 75 g butter
• 150 g speck, cut into 4 thick slices
• 2 large brown onions, diced
• 2 large orange flesh sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 cm cubes
• salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp finely shredded dill, to serve

Instructions

1. Heat a very large frying pan over medium heat and add half the butter. Fry the speck until lightly browned then remove from the pan. Add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes or until quite well browned around the edges.
2. Add the sweet potatoes and the remaining butter and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes begin to soften.
3. Make 4 wells in the sweet potato for the eggs. Crack in the eggs, then place the speck slices around the edge and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are set to your liking. Taste and season with salt if needed and plenty of black pepper. Scatter with the dill to serve.
