Instructions

1

Preheat & Roast Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Scrub sweet potatoes clean, pierce several times with a fork, place on a baking tray, and bake for 45–50 minutes until completely tender.
2

Create Potato Boats: Slice each potato in half lengthways. Scoop out some of the flesh from the center using a spoon to create a well, leaving about 1cm border around the edges.
3

Whisk Egg Filling: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk. Season with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes if using. Stir in the finely chopped spring onion and red bell pepper.
4

Fill & Top: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each sweet potato half. Top generously with crumbled feta cheese.
5

Bake & Serve: Return to the oven and bake for a further 15–20 minutes until the egg filling is fully set and the feta cheese turns lightly golden. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot!

Notes & Tips

🍠 Uniform Base: Choose sweet potatoes with a flatter side so they stay stable on the tray without tipping over when filled.
🥚 Prevent Overflow: Leave a small gap at the top when pouring the egg mixture, as it will puff up slightly while baking.
🧀 Cheese Options: Feta adds a salty kick, but sharp cheddar, goat cheese, or shredded mozzarella also taste fantastic.
🥡 Meal Prep Hack: Bake the sweet potatoes ahead of time. When ready to eat, simply fill with egg mixture and bake for 20 minutes!
