🍠 Loaded Sweet Potato Egg Bake

High Protein · Gluten-Free · Meal Prep Friendly · 6 Ingredients

📋 Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • ½ red pepper, finely chopped
  • Handful of feta cheese, crumbled

Optional: salt, pepper, chilli flakes, fresh herbs to season

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pierce several times with a fork. Place on a baking tray and bake for 45–50 minutes until completely tender.

2

Slice each potato in half lengthways. Scoop out some of the flesh from the centre to create a well — leave about 1cm of flesh around the edges.

3

Whisk the eggs with milk in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes if using. Add the chopped spring onion and red pepper. Mix well.

4

Pour the egg mixture into each potato half. Top generously with crumbled feta cheese.

5

Return to the oven and bake for a further 15–20 minutes until the eggs are set and the feta is golden. Serve immediately! ✨

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Results

  • 🍠Choose uniform-sized potatoes so they cook evenly. Medium-large potatoes with a flat base work best as they won’t tip over.
  • 🥚Don’t overfill — leave a small gap at the top as the egg mixture will puff up slightly during baking.
  • 🧀Swap the feta for cheddar, goat’s cheese, or mozzarella depending on your preference. All work brilliantly.
  • 🥡Meal prep tip — bake the sweet potatoes ahead of time and store in the fridge. Fill and bake on the day for a 20-minute meal!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Use plant-based milk and skip the feta or replace with dairy-free cheese. The recipe works just as well.

Can I add meat?

Absolutely! Diced bacon, turkey, or chorizo added to the egg mixture takes this to the next level.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes or microwave for 2 minutes.

Can I use regular potatoes?

Yes! Regular baked potatoes work too, though you’ll miss the natural sweetness and beta-carotene that sweet potatoes provide.
