Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Fillings & toppings

  • 4 large eggs
  • spinach (chopped)
  • tomato (diced)
  • ham (diced)
  • shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Use a fork to pierce holes all over the sweet potatoes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Microwave potatoes for 7 mins until they have softened significantly. *Be careful – sweet potatoes will be hot!
  • Slice the potatoes in half & use a spoon to scrape out the inner flesh, making sure to leave at least a ¼-inch thick border on each side, saving the scooped out portion to use for side dishes.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Fill each potato with 1 egg & an assortment of fillings for whatever flavor combinations you’d like. Season each potato with salt & pepper to taste. *I tend to omit salt for a healthier version.
  • Bake for 10-15 mins, until the egg has cooked to preferred doneness.
  • Top the potatoes & side dishes with your choice of topping & garnishes. *We added some chopped spinach to our scooped out portion for a mini side.
  • Serve & Enjoy!
