Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • Salsa for serving
  • ½ avocado diced for serving
  • Sour cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking quarter sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes well, dry and use a fork to poke holes all over the sweet potatoes. Place sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake until tender through to the center, 40-50 minutes.
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk. Whisk until smooth and combined.
  • Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, carefully pour the whisked eggs into the center of the pan and do not stir. When the edges start to set, use a spatula to push the cooked eggs on the outer edges toward the center of the pan. Continue cooking over medium heat, gently pushing the cooked eggs towards the center every few seconds until the eggs are almost cooked through, with a little liquid egg remaining. Total cook time will be about 2-3 minutes.
  • When the sweet potatoes are cooked and cooled, cut a slit down the center of the sweet potato about 2/3 of the way down. Using a fork, slightly mash the inside of the sweet potato and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the scrambled eggs between the two sweet potatoes. Add salsa, avocados, sour cream, hot sauce and cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3 days in the fridge. 
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can customize the toppings to suit your tastes.
