For the puree:

Preheat oven to 450. Roast one whole sweet potato for one hour or until tender. In a sauté pan, melt butter and a few Tbsp of olive oil on low-medium heat. Add shallots, onions, and sage and cook until soft and fragrant, stirring often. When sweet potatoes are ready, scrape out flesh of potatoes and put in a food processor. Remove sage leaves from sauté pan and add shallot/onion mixture to processor. Add sherry and honey and puree. Once mixture is smooth add water to thin. Serve warm or chilled.

Drizzle sweet potato puree around plate (about 1/4-1/3 cup total). Spread 1/3 cup of microgreens around plate and make a little nest in the center to rest egg on. Set egg on nest and finish by sprinkling a few tablespoons of wheat berries around plate and on egg. Serve immediately.
