Sweet Potato Hashbrown Breakfast Bake

There's something about weekend mornings that just begs for a special breakfast. You know, the kind you can linger over with a second cup of coffee. This Sweet Potato Hashbrown Breakfast Bake has become my absolute go-to. It feels fancy, looks impressive, but I promise you, it’s incredibly simple to throw together. It’s the perfect cozy, savory start to any day.

The Sweet Potato Foundation

It all starts with those sweet potatoes. Don't be tempted to skip the roasting step! Tossing them in olive oil, salt, and pepper and roasting at 350°F until they're fork-tender and a little browned is what gives this dish its deep, caramelized flavor. You’re not just boiling them; you’re building a flavor base. While they're in the oven, you can get your veggies ready.

Sautéing the Aromatics

Next up, the aromatic veggie mix. Heating a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet and adding red onions, bell peppers, green onions, and garlic makes your whole kitchen smell absolutely incredible. You want to cook them until they're just tender and getting those lovely golden edges. This step adds a crucial layer of sweetness and savoriness that complements the sweet potatoes perfectly.

The Grand (and Easy) Finale

Now for the fun part: assembly! Divide the sweet potato hashbrown cubes between individual ramekins. Make a little well in the center of each one—this is your egg's nest. A generous sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese goes on top, and then you just crack a beautiful egg right into that indentation. The final bake at 425°F is brief, just until the egg whites are set. The result is pure magic.
