Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 slices of bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and pierce it multiple times with a fork.
- Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While the sweet potato bakes, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove it from the skillet and set it aside on paper towels to drain.
- Using the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them to your desired doneness.
- Once the sweet potato is finished baking, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Carefully cut it open.
- Fluff the insides of the sweet potato with a fork and layer in the cooked bacon, eggs, and shredded cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Feel free to swap bacon for turkey bacon or a plant-based alternative. Experiment with additional toppings like avocado or salsa.
