You must eat this. Not only today, but everyday until it doesn't seem like the best idea you've ever heard of. This my friends, is a soft boiled egg on bacon infused sweet potatoes with a parsley coulis. Phenomenal.
It's a pretty straightforward but brilliant recipe from Chicago chef Bruce Sherman. Like me, Sherman suffers from a severe predilection for eggs. Unlike me, Sherman had the idea to infuse sweet potatoes with bacon and create this vividly colored and deceptively simple masterpiece of a dish. Bastard.
Check out the recipe from Saveur that was originally published in their October 2007 issue.
Don't despair, just eat it.

No worries, Amanda! I know how it is visiting family... the time just flies!
This dish is really delicious, but a little finicky. You can tell it's a restaurant recipe when you're preparing it - lots of steps.
