This recipe creates a wholesome and easy breakfast bake featuring spiralized sweet potato, a whisked egg, and melted Swiss cheese. It's a quick, nutritious, and naturally gluten-free option, perfect for a satisfying start to your day or a light, convenient meal.
Equipment
- 1 Baking Ramekins or Small Baking Dish Suitable for individual portions or a single bake.
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk or fork For whisking the egg.
- 1 Spiralizer (Only if sweet potato is not pre-spiralized)
Ingredients
Main
- 1 large egg
- 1 oz swiss cheese Use shredded cheese or tear up a slice of swiss cheese into small pieces.
- 1 cup sweet potato Spiralized.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease individual ramekins or a small baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the large egg until it is well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add the shredded or torn Swiss cheese to the whisked egg, stirring to combine.
- Gently fold in the spiralized sweet potato with the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins or pour into the small baking dish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg is set, the sweet potato is tender, and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size and depth of your baking dish.
- Carefully remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the bake to firm up and makes it easier to serve.
Notes
1. Seasoning is key for this simple dish; a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper will enhance the natural flavors. Consider a tiny dash of nutmeg or a sprinkle of dried thyme to complement the sweet potato and cheese. 2. To ensure even cooking and prevent sticking, lightly grease your ramekins or baking dish with a neutral oil or non-stick spray. 3. Avoid overbaking the egg, as it can become rubbery. The bake is done when the egg is set, the sweet potato is tender-crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. 4. For best texture, ensure your spiralized sweet potato strands are not overly thick, allowing them to cook thoroughly within the short baking time.
