Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or dairy-free milk alternative
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

For Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the casserole later.
  2. Cook Sweet Potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes into a large pot of boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes until they become tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and slightly frothy. This mixture acts as the binding agent for the casserole.
  4. Season the Mixture: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) into the egg mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  5. Assemble Casserole: Spread the cooked sweet potatoes evenly throughout the bottom of a baking dish. Pour the seasoned egg mixture over the sweet potatoes, making sure it is evenly distributed.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. This adds a rich, melty layer once baked.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top turns a lovely golden brown color.
  8. Cool: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes to set further and make slicing easier.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top of the casserole to add freshness and color.
  10. Serve: Cut into portions and serve warm for a delicious, filling breakfast.

Notes

  • Boiling the sweet potatoes before baking helps ensure they cook evenly and become soft without needing extra baking time.
  • You can substitute dairy milk with almond, soy, or oat milk to make the casserole dairy-free.
  • If you want to add extra flavor, consider mixing cooked bacon or sausage into the egg mixture before baking.
  • For a vegetarian version, avoid adding meat toppings and use a cheese that fits your dietary preference.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
