- 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)

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.
