Baked Eggs

I've been trying out some new healthier recipes.  I will be sharing some on here, starting with this one...a friend sent this to me...click here for the blog I got it from.  I did a little variation from the original recipe.  These are called baked eggs.

Start with grating sweet potatoes.  I actually peeled mine first but next time I don't think I will.  There are lots of good nutrients in that peeling, so just leave it on and grate away.

With a little olive oil, throw the grated sweet potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, green onions, garlic...you could really do whatever you have...I even think zucchini and squash would be yummy.  Add some spices if you want...I just stuck with a little salt for flavor.

Cook it down until it looks like this.

Get some ramekins.  I actually borrowed some from my neighbor so I could cook these in bulk.  Spray them first with non-stick spray.  Divide your sweet potato mixture between them all and crack an egg on top.

Cook on 350.  The recipe says 15 minutes and then add crumbled bacon and cook for a few more minutes.  Mine actually took more like 25 minutes so that the egg was cooked all the way.  It's more of a personal preference on how cooked you want your egg. And I didn't add bacon.

These were easy.  A little time consuming with grating the sweet potato but I have recently gotten an awesome food processor that will do that whole step for me...so I'm definitely doing these again sometime soon. 

Since I did so many, I actually froze mine in containers.  I just pull them out the night before and heat them up prior to breakfast.  They were great that way too.
