A hearty breakfast bake featuring sweet potatoes, eggs, spinach, and cheese that’s comforting, nutritious, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella, feta, or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: cooked bacon, sausage crumbles, or diced bell peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Toss them in a mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
  3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on a sheet pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil, then sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute before tossing in the chopped spinach. Cook until wilted, then remove from heat.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined.
  6. Spread the roasted sweet potatoes evenly in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables on top, followed by the shredded cheese.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Gently shake the dish to settle everything into place.
  8. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
