Method
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your 9x13 baking dish.
- In a pan, brown the breakfast sausage and crumble into small pieces. When it is cooked through, remove from the pan and drain (or place it in a bowl with a paper towel to absorb the excess grease).
- In the same pan, add some olive oil and cook the diced sweet potatoes for 6-8 minutes until soft (10-15 minutes if using fresh).
- Mix the eggs, milk, and spices well until combined.
- Add the egg mixture into your greased baking dish. Then add your sweet potatoes and sausage around evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the eggs are set.

Notes
1. If you want the eggs to be extra fluffy and cooked more gently, you can place a pan under your baking dish and add water to the pan underneath to cook in a water bath.
2. I cook all of the sausage and sweet potatoes and then save the other half in a bag the freezer. That way I can have some of it prepped for next time!
3. I know it is a lot of eggs – but it makes a lot of serving! It will last you several days and help your busy mornings go more smoothly!
