Ingredients
  

  • 3 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • Salt for baking
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled turkey ham
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced scallions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Prick each several times with a fork.
  • Rub each potato with canola oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Bake for 60–90 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool slightly.
  • Slice each potato in half lengthwise.
  • Carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin border to help the skins hold their shape.
  • Place the scooped sweet potato flesh into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the cooked turkey ham, butter, and shredded white cheddar cheese. Mix until creamy.
  • Spoon the filling back into each potato shell.
  • Create a small well in the center of each filled potato.
  • Crack one egg into each well.
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Bake the Breakfast Sweet Potato for 15–20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  • Garnish with minced scallions and serve immediately.

Notes

Turkey ham provides the same savory flavor while keeping the recipe halal-friendly.
