A warm and easy breakfast featuring sweet potatoes filled with crispy bacon, eggs, and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 slices of bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes and poke holes in them with a fork.
- Bake the sweet potatoes for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes bake, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy.
- Remove the bacon and chop it into pieces.
- In the same skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or scramble them, as you like.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly so you can handle them.
- Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise.

Notes
For a lighter version, consider using turkey bacon or baking the eggs inside the potato.
