Method

  1. Cook the sweet potato in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until it is tender, adding the broccoli for the last 5 minutes. Drain well. Heat a little oil in a small, deep frying pan and add the garlic, sweet potato and broccoli. Toss together then spread the vegetables in an even layer in the frying pan and pour on the egg. Cook until the bottom is set and then dot with the goat's cheese and grill very briefly until just set. Serve with salad, or in a wholemeal pitta bread with salad.

    Quick and delicious! I added some bacon lardons to give some extra taste, it was excellent. Not sure if that is why I ended up having to use 5 eggs instead of 2. Will definitely repeat again.

    Like the previous reviewer: I too ended up using 5 eggs. This was good, but a bit bland. I also added a bit of bacon to add flavour. The eggs puffed up very lovely under the grill, and it was a nice meal--but if I were to do it again I would add salt and pepper to the beaten eggs (perhaps this was implied in the recipe?) and some other sort of seasoning--perhaps fresh shredded basil or even rosemary... or some diced sundried tomato would have been nice. Just something to give it a bit more flavour.

    The 2 egg ratio has to be a mistake! I also needed 5 for complete coverage of the vegetables. A home-made chutney, relish or harissa gives it the kick it needs.

    As per the previous entries I think the no. of eggs is a mistake. I used 6 medium eggs for this one.

    Really nice but I did take every one's advice and use 5 eggs instead of 2.

    We had to add cheddar to make it more flavoursome, and even with the smallest of pans the '2 eggs' is a little optimistic. Nice enough, but I don't it will make it onto a regular spot at our dining table.

    Great recipe, and it really made me think about what else you could put in! We folowed the advice of other raters here, and used five eggs, in a 10" diametre frying pan. We also added bacon and an onion. We sliced, not cubed, the sweet potato - and found that boiling the sweet potato for the full five minutes longer than brocolli made it slightly soggy. Great dish, will make again and again

    Add curry powder! Makes this a five star recipe. I just had a packet for "Curry sauce" and added a few shakes. Seriously yum.

    Also, I didn't add goats cheese/garlic. Limited resources - I'm a student! Not sure what goats cheese and curry are like together..

    I really liked this! Made for my two children (3 and 6) and they both ate it up - helped that I added salami and cheddar cheese (rather than goats) to the top. Only needed 2 eggs as much smaller version.

    Very tasty, quick and easy meal. I added rosemary and onion. As a meal for one 2 eggs was fine but I only used half of a very small sweet potato.
