Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Slice sweet potato into 1⁄4-inch-thick rounds. Quarter lemon. Halve buns. Slice half the tomato into 1⁄4-inch- thick rounds; dice remaining tomato into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Transfer diced tomato to a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss sweet potato on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
• While sweet potato roasts, in a medium bowl, whisk together eggs*, sour cream, 2 TBSP water, 1⁄4 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (be sure to measure—we sent more), 1⁄4 tsp salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined. (For 4 servings, use 4 TBSP water, 1⁄2 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice, and 1⁄2 tsp salt.) • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, 1 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice, 1 tsp olive oil, juice from one lemon wedge, a pinch of salt, and pepper. (For 4, use 2 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice, 2 tsp olive oil, and juice from two lemon wedges.)
• Melt 1⁄2 TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan (use a large pan for 4) over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture; cook, undisturbed, until just set, 30-45 seconds. • Continue to cook, gently stirring in a figure-eight pattern, until curds form and eggs are scrambled to preference. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and divide into two even piles (four piles for 4). Top each pile with gouda. Wipe out pan.
• Melt 1⁄2 TBSP butter in pan used for eggs over medium heat. Add buns, cut sides down; toast until golden brown, 1-3 minutes. (For 4 servings, work in batches, adding 1⁄2 TBSP butter for each batch.) • While buns toast, add half the arugula, 1⁄2 tsp olive oil (1 tsp for 4), and juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4) to bowl with diced tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Spread cut sides of buns with a thin layer of aioli. Fill buns with remaining arugula, sliced tomato, and gouda- topped scrambled eggs. • Divide sandos, sweet potatoes, and salad between plates. Serve with remaining lemon wedges and remaining aioli on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The Tuscan Heat aioli was a standout — creamy, herby, and delicious — and the Gouda added a satisfying richness to the eggs 🧀. Some found the seasoning in the eggs a bit strong; others loved it, so taste as you go.
- Ease of prep: The recipe involves more steps and bowls than expected for a simple egg sandwich, but most found it manageable once underway.
- Suggestions: Skip or reduce the water added to the eggs — several reviewers found it made the eggs watery and loose rather than soft and pillowy. Use two eggs per person instead of one for a more filling sandwich, and consider frying rather than scrambling if you want the eggs to stay put in the bun.
- Portions: The sweet potato was consistently flagged as too small for two servings; adding a second potato made the side feel complete.
- Salad: Many enjoyed the sandwich and sweet potatoes but skipped the arugula salad, finding it too bitter or peppery on its own — swapping in spinach or mixed greens worked well for some.
Reviews from our home cooks
So many things came together to make a simple sandwich absolutely fabulous! The addition of sour cream added to the eggs before cooking, the aioli, the buns toasted with butter & the Gouda came together to make a truly memorable recipe I will keep.
I wasn't expecting much from this meal (I mean it's an Egg sandwich!) but oh boy was it delicious! I think the aioli was the highlight of this dish. I had some left over and used it as a sauce side for the sweet potatoes and it was great!
Omgosh this was so good. I did cook 4 slices of bacon in oven, because I know my family. I would definitely make more aioli. It was so good that I dipped sweet potato slices in until I realized I needed it for the buns. I did think the eggs were a little watery so I added an egg white. Next time I would only add 1 tbsp of water. Very good fancy adult BLT.
Spices on the egg were really good. The tip on how to scramble was a great pointer
This one was unique and we really enjoyed it. I loved eating the sweet potato this way. Only critique, is the eggs slip and fall off the sandwich easy.
Surprised that I liked the sweet potatoes so much! The sandwiches I had with bacon and they were really good. I don't love these kind of plain arugula, olive oil and tomato salads. The only reason this one was good was because I traded the Roma tomatoes for some of my mom's garden grown tomatoes. The aioli was great too.
The sandwich and potatoes are delicious, but arugula does not make a good salad. The flavor is too weird. It's good on the sandwich, but I would like this more if there were more potatoes and no side salad. Just a little bit to put on the sandwich.
There was waaaay too much aioli in our opinion; we used maybe a quarter of it and had plenty enough for the flavor to have quite a strong presence. Unless people are slathering their sweet potato wedges in it too (which they don't need, they're delicious on their own), I would say you could easily halve the amount.
This is a great sandwich but the single sweet potato is not enough and I think an English muffin or a bagel is better with a sandwich like this rather than a bun. The bun takes away from the flavor.
2 eggs for 2 people isn't enough. I added an extra & made the other ingredients as if it was for 4. Tasty! Savory & satisfying; didn't feel like "breakfast" for dinner. Was substantial
