Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Servings: 6
Calories: 252kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 medium-large sweet potatoes
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 oz sausage
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 tsp dried onion
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • handful fresh spinach leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes, poke a few small holes in them, and wrap each one in a damp paper towel.  Microwave for 4 minutes on each side, then add one more minute at a time until they are soft.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise, and use a spoon to scoop out the center of the potato.*  Leave about 1/4" of potato on the skin.
  • Whisk the eggs and spices in a medium bowl, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, cook the chorizo sausage* & bell pepper for 3-4 minutes, or until the sausage is browned.  Move the sausage & pepper to the edges of the pan, and pour the eggs in the middle.  Stir in the chopped spinach, and scramble until the eggs are cooked.
  • Distribute the scrambled mixture into the sweet potatoes, and lay on a baking sheet.  Bake at 400ºF for 8-10 minutes, to warm them through.
  • Serve hot with hot sauce & avocado.  Save leftovers in the fridge for an easy reheated breakfast throughout the week!

Notes

  • Save the flesh of the potatoes for "mashed sweet potatoes"!
  • If you're using raw chorizo, remove the casings and cook until crumbled and cooked through.  If the chorizo is fully cooked, dice it into small pieces first then cook until lightly browned.
