Sometimes an easy mistake turns into a tasty solution! A while back, my sister and I threw a surprise retirement party for my dad, and spinach cheese balls were on the menu. We each took that Friday off from work and enjoyed the day together, shopping for decorations and the food, then prepping for our family to arrive in town.

As we shopped up and down the aisles of Kroger, laughing, talking a little too loud, and looking for each item on our never-ending list, we made our way to the frozen vegetables and grabbed what we thought was chopped spinach. We threw it in the cart and were on to the next thing. Once we were home, family had arrived, and dinner was eaten, we started making and prepping food for the party the following day.

I got started on the spinach cheese balls, only to discover we grabbed chopped broccoli rather than chopped spinach…oops! I made a quick trip to Publix, we made the spinach balls {which were delish}, and the party turned out wonderful, but the frozen broccoli has sat in my freezer since then. So a few weeks ago, as I rummaged through my pantry and fridge to see what I had, I came across that frozen chopped broccoli and came up with the idea to make these Broccoli Cheese Sweet Potatoes with Fried Egg. And I must say, I’ve never been so glad to have grabbed the wrong thing at the store!

These Broccoli Cheese Sweet Potatoes topped with a Fried Egg are not only loaded with nutrients, but make for the perfect comfort meal. Sweet Potatoes loaded with creamy broccoli and cheese, seasoned with chopped onions, then topped with a fried runny egg and a little smoked paprika…I think I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all in the same day!

Not the prettiest, but quite tasty, enjoy!

    This is totally my kind of meal! I make something super similar with kale but I’m definitely going to try it now with broccoli!
