This spicy goat cheese and sweet potato egg skillet recipe is elevated by adding spicy pepperino chili-infused olive oil. A healthy and flavorful recipe!

Healthy Sweet Potato Breakfast Egg Skillet Recipe

I distinctly remember the first time I tasted real olive oil. I was in Italy in college and it was my first night, in a plaza in Milan. The complexity of the flavors and the, well goodness, of it is something I’ll never forget. I definitely have Italy flashbacks when I have good olive oil. It’s one of those ingredients that is worth spending a few extra dollars on to make sure you get the good stuff.

Spicy Goat Cheese and Sweet Potato Egg Skillet Recipe - with Chili Olive Oil!My current obsession is infused olive oils. Currently, we are using a pepperino olive oil – infused with chili pepper, garlic & rosemary. Pat and I have been using it like crazy! I finally had a weekend off after two straight weeks in the hospital and we celebrated by having a lazy morning at home, complete with breakfast. We made this spicy goat cheese and sweet potato egg skillet and elevated it a notch with a splash of Pepperino olive oil. I’ve been using it instead of my normal olive oil whenever I get a chance. It has the perfect amount of heat without that in-your-face sensation that adding hot sauce gives.

    I would choose the • Green Gold, Pepperino, Oreganato, Aglioli set; I’m not a big fan of kalamata olives.

    Naturally my mind thought “more is better,” so I would get the 4 piece gift set. I love a good olive oil and I can’t wait to try these.
