Farmhouse Baked Eggs

A baked egg dish can be an easy and time efficient means to get a healthy and hot breakfast to the table. All of the components can be prepared the evening before and while the eggs bake you can take care of the other things you need to do in the morning.

4 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium sweet potato, finely diced
1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
Salt and pepper
6 eggs
2 tbsp Italian parsley, chopped


Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and place 2 individual baking dishes (large ramekins or oval shallow dishes) onto a baking tray.

In a large skillet, cooked the chopped bacon, once the fat has been rendered from the bacon add the sweet potato and mushrooms. Continue to cook until bacon is cooked and the sweet potato is soft. Season with salt and pepper. Divide between the 2 dishes. Break 2 - 3 eggs into each dish (depending on how hungry you are).

Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes (depending on desired doneness).  For more of a “sunny side up” effect, cover the dishes for the first 15 minutes of baking. Lift each dish onto a napkin-lined plate and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
