    Stuffed sweet potatoes for breakfast - with sausage and eggs

    Who knew that sweet potatoes could make a great breakfast? My husband was skeptical. Well, after trying these stuffed sweet potato halves for breakfast, he is skeptical no more. I was myself surprised how well all flavors mixed in here: scrambled eggs and sausage mixed in with a little bit of cheese sauce and pureed sweet potatoes - all stuffed in sweet potato "boats".

    To me, this is the perfect breakfast with favorite breakfast ingredients: sausage, eggs, and potatoes. Fat, protein, and carbs - all together. And, I like how it looks: little boats of potato halves filled with a delicious breakfast mixture. I won't be very verbose in this post and will get down right to the recipe.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for sweet potatoes and filling:

    • 2 sweet potatoes
    • 8 oz breakfast sausage , crumbled
    • 4 eggs
    • ¼ cup half and half

    Ingredients for cheese sauce:

    • 2 tablespoons mayo
    • 2 teaspoons mustard
    • ⅓ cup half and half
    • ¼ cup cheddar cheese , shredded

    Extra Ingredients:

    • ¼ cup cheddar cheese , shredded, for sprinkling on top

    Instructions 

    Make filling for stuffed potatoes

    • Bake sweet potatoes at 350 F for 50-60 minutes.  Cool, cut each potato in half, scoop out the middle: you can use either knife or spoon or both.  Set aside 4 potato halves (without the flesh in the middle).  Add the scooped out parts of sweet potatoes to a separate medium bowl, and puree the scooped out parts of sweet potatoes.
    • Cook sausage in a skillet, drain from fat. Remove to a plate.
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and half-and-half. In a separate lightly greased skillet (or the same one that you cooked sausage in), cook eggs just for 2-3 minutes, constantly stirring and flipping – until fluffy and airy.
    • In the bowl , mix together pureed portion of sweet potatoes, cooked eggs, and cooked sausage.

    Cheese Sauce:

    • Make sauce by combining all sauce ingredients together and heating them on stove for several minutes to melt the cheese.

    Assembly:

    • Pre-heat your broiler.
    • Place potato halves (you should have 4 potato halves) into broiler proof dish.  
    • Put some potato-egg-sausage mixture on the bottom of each potato half, put a thin layer of cheese sauce over the potato-egg-sausage mixture. 
    • Put more potato-egg-sausage mixture on top of the sauce, and add the remaining sauce over it, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. 
    • Broil the potatoes until the cheese is melted on top - for a couple of minutes. Be careful not to burn sweet potatoes.

      I would love to make these! The recipe states "1/2 breakfast sausage" but I don't know half what. Can I assume 1/2 a pound?

      These look fantastic. Do you think you can't make them ahead of time (night before) and heat in oven?
