Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Sweet Potatoes – 2 medium, peeled and boiled
  • Eggs – 6 large
  • Smoked Turkey Bacon – 4 slices
  • Fresh Spinach – 1 cup, roughly chopped
  • Plant-Based Cheese – 1/2 cup, shredded
  • Onion Powder (natural) – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper (natural) – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Sea Salt (natural) – 1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) – 1 tablespoon
  • Natural Gelling Agent – 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes. Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until tender but still firm. Drain and lightly mash with a fork, mixing in a pinch of sea salt (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to infuse flavor.
  2. Form the Cups. Lightly grease a muffin tin. Press the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly into each well, creating a hollow center to hold the eggs.
  3. Pre-cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Spinach. In a skillet, cook smoked turkey bacon slices until they start to crisp. Add the spinach and sauté briefly until wilted. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the Cups. Place a portion of smoked turkey bacon and spinach into each sweet potato cup. Crack one egg on top of each. Sprinkle plant-based cheese, onion powder (natural), black pepper (natural), and natural gelling agent evenly over the eggs.
  5. Bake to Perfection. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until eggs are set but still tender and creamy. Monitor closely to avoid overcooking.

Notes

  • Use uniformly sized sweet potatoes for even cooking.
  • Don’t overfill the cups to allow eggs room to puff without spilling.
  • Use room temperature eggs before cracking for even cooking.
  • Choose fresh spinach over frozen for best texture.
  • Use an oven thermometer for accurate baking temperature.
