Ingredients

  • 1 lb. sweet potatoes peeled & diced into 1/4″ pieces
  • 1 tsp. olive oil (50g)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (224g)
  • 1/2 tsp. each onion powder & garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese (112g)
  • 1/4 cup fully cooked chopped bacon (28g) I used hormel black label real
  • 2-3 Tbsp. chopped green onions optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add potatoes, olive oil and salt to a baking sheet. Toss to evenly coat then spread out even. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the eggs, cottage cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder to a small blender or food processor. Add a tiny pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Grease a 12-cavity brownie pan or muffin pan.
  • Once the potatoes are done roasting, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Evenly distribute the roasted potatoes into each of the 12 cavities. Then evenly sprinkle with the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.
  • Pour egg mixture over top. Give each a gentle stir to distribute ingredients. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes then remove from the pan. Serve with ketchup if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4–5 days.
  • Freezer: Let cool completely, then freeze individually on a tray, then wrap with plastic wrap and transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 20–30 seconds from the fridge, or 60–90 seconds from frozen. You can also reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for a few minutes.
