These Breakfast Loaded Sweet Potatoes are the ultimate savory brunch item. Stuffed with soft scrambled eggs, avocado slices, and fresh herbs, these may be my favorite way to enjoy a sweet potato.
I’m a sucker for a sweet potato. If I could bring one food item on a deserted island, sweet potatoes would be on the short list. I’ve stuffed them with buffalo chicken, I’ve baked them in a cookie, and I’ve transformed them into a blondie. There are hundreds of ways to use sweet potatoes but I think combining it with my love for breakfast foods may be the ultimate winner in my book.
Just think, first thing in the morning, a fork full of equal parts warm mashed sweet potato, soft scrambled eggs, and creamy avocado ????. Definitely one of my favorite ways to wake up in the morning. A breakfast loaded sweet potato is great because it is one very balanced meal - you have your complex carb (the sweet potato), your protein (the scrambled eggs), and your healthy fats (the avocado and the yolk of the egg). It’s the easiest healthy meal to kick start your day if you ask me.
I love baking sweet potatoes on Sundays for a quick “meal prep” sort of deal. They take little to no effort to make. It's as simple as pushing a couple buttons on your oven and placing the potatoes on a baking sheet. Let em' bake for about an hour an go about you day. Easy as that. They're ready to eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner because sweet potatoes are THAT diverse of a food.
