Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 cup of Milk Your choice of Regular milk, Half & Half, Heavy Cream or Dairy Free Milk
  • ½ Pound Breakfast Sausage
  • 1 cup of Diced Sweet Potatoes Frozen or Fresh
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive Oil

Equipment

  • What You’ll Need:
  • Baking Dish (9x13)
  • Hand Mixer or Whisk
  • Pan

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your 9x13 baking dish.
  2. 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).
  3. 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).
  4. Mix the eggs, milk, and spices well until combined.
  5. Add the egg mixture into your greased baking dish. Then add your sweet potatoes and sausage around evenly.
  6. 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!
