Breakfast crowds can be tough to please. One half of the table begs for bacon, while the other side urges you to make omelets. Why not whip up a dish that includes elements of both, with the added bonus of a serving of veggies and fruit? This all-in-one skillet recipe starts with roasting sweet potato cubes tossed with coconut oil for a hearty and flavorful base. Pancetta (the Italian version of bacon) and eggs are added in, along with chunks of sweet apples and cinnamon for a touch of fall flavor. The only bickering you’ll hear will be over who gets the last scoop!
