Let’s talk breakfast for a minute. It’s my absolute favorite meal of the day, and it also happens to be the most important one. Even with all the Holiday prep, we don’t want breakfast/brunch to slip through the cracks. This is why these baked eggs in sweet potato crusts are my absolute favourite way to make breakfast for a crowd on special days.

These Baked Eggs in Sweet Potato Crust are not only PURE deliciousness, they are also a great recipe to prepare in advance. Serve them to a big crowd or enjoy them as a romantic Valentine’s Day breakfast in bed!

I love making these baked eggs with a sweet potato crust. The combo of sweet potatoes and eggs is pure LOVE for me. There’s something about that sweetness from the potatoes paired with the rich, runny egg yolks that makes this easy breakfast treat taste simply divine.

To make this Baked Eggs recipe feel extra special,  I chose my cute little heart molds. The heart shaped presentation makes this the perfect recipe for a cozy weekend breakfast in bed. My favorite way to serve these luscious baked eggs.

Then you’ll crack a fresh egg in the centre of each mold (or crack several eggs if you’re using a large pie plate). Now I add in the secret ingredient – a tablespoon of cream per egg.

Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and add fresh thyme (optional) as a finishing touch. Your baked eggs are ready for the oven! Simple yet pure lush.

 Tips for success:

• Adding a tablespoon of cream per egg before baking takes them to the next level.
• If you are making Baked Eggs in Sweet Potato Crusts for a crowd—say a Holiday brunch or potluck party – use a large baking pan or my standard muffin pan.
• To be on the safe side, make sure to line up your muffin pan with baking paper.
• For a cooked and yet still slightly runny egg yolk, bake the eggs for 10 mins.

So now go ahead and take a deep breath if you’re thinking of making a divine yet simple breakfast—just make these baked eggs in sweet potato crusts and enjoy every bite of this yummy goodness! Happy Holidays!
