Description
Sweet Potato Breakfast Boats are the kind of easy breakfast recipe that makes an ordinary morning feel a little special. Tender roasted sweet potatoes are filled with melty cheddar, crisp bacon, and baked eggs, then finished with feta, parsley, and a few juicy blueberries for a fresh pop. It is a cozy quick breakfast, a satisfying brunch idea, and one of my favorite healthy breakfast ideas when I want something hearty, colorful, and simple enough for a weekend meal or meal prep.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes
4 large eggs
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and rub them with olive oil.
3. Season the sweet potatoes with salt and black pepper.
4. Place them cut side up on a baking sheet and roast for 35 to 45 minutes, until fork-tender.
5. Remove from the oven and gently press the centers down with a spoon to create shallow wells.
6. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese into each sweet potato half.
7. Add most of the crumbled bacon, reserving a little for topping.
8. Carefully crack one egg into each sweet potato half.
9. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked as desired.
10. Remove from the oven and top with feta, remaining bacon, blueberries, parsley, and a little extra black pepper.
11. Serve warm.
Notes
Use medium sweet potatoes with a wide center so the eggs fit more easily without overflowing.
Bake the sweet potatoes until very tender before adding the eggs, or the texture will not be as creamy and scoopable.
