Stuffed Sweet Potatos with Bacon and Egg
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Bacon and Eggs an easy brunch for a lazy Sunday morning. The sweetness of the potato with the saltiness of the bacon are a great match!
This is such a simple thing to make especially on a Sunday morning a lazy Sunday morning when you dont want to do much. Three simple steps and you’re done.
The best thing to do would be putting your potatoes in the oven first thing in the morning while you have a cuppa and read something or check your social media.
So once they are cooked you just scoop a hole out in the middle of each spud and put your excess potato in the freezer for another recipe, (I have one coming) or use it for whatever you like.
Then you put your bacon in and crack an egg and place it on top and put in the oven thats all there is to it, easy! You could use white potatoes instead but you would get a completely different taste combination I think the sweet potato wins hands down plus they are better for you.
They really don’t look that pretty up close but I promise the taste will make up for it. I don’t like a completely runny yolk so you will notice that my yolks are half hard.
