Base
- 3 large sweet potatoes
Filling
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup beef bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 scallion, finely sliced
Seasoning & Fat
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then pierce each one several times with a fork. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 45–55 minutes, until tender and easily pierced with a knife.
Step 2: Prepare the Beef Bacon
While the potatoes roast, cook the beef bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate and crumble once cooled. Set aside.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, add the eggs, and cook gently, stirring slowly, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat while slightly creamy.
Step 4: Split the Potatoes
Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Slice each potato lengthwise and gently mash the inside with a fork to create space for the filling.
Step 5: Stuff the Potatoes
Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the sweet potatoes. Top with crumbled beef bacon and shredded white cheddar cheese.
Step 6: Melt the Cheese
Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for 5–7 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced scallions. Serve warm.
