Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or gouda)
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.

  • Fold the cooked sweet potatoes into the egg mixture until well combined.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Allow the egg bites to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use silicone liners for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Adjust spices to taste for mild or spicy flavors.
  • Mix in other veggies like bell peppers or spinach if desired.
  • Store cooked bites in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze individual bites for up to 3 months.
