Bacon & Sweet Potato Egg Bake

6/4/2014

0 Comments

 
   One needs to get creative when they have hens that are great layers! I love having eggs at hand whenever I need them for a recipe, or to give away as a super random, hillbilly-style gift to bring to someone, but at some point you just need something 'different' (well, different, but still using eggs!)!
   This is made with sweet potato, but can easily be made with regular potato, and there is no milk products in here either, so you can add cheese or milk or cream if you wanna.

Bacon & Sweet Potato Egg Bake

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, washed
  • 8 Pieces bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced 
  • 8 large eggs 
  • 1/8 Cup water
  • Salt and pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Thoroughly grease a 9x13 casserole dish
  3. In a large pan on medium high heat, cook the bacon, adding the diced onion after about 5 minutes. Continue to cook until bacon is done, and onion are caramelized. Leave the pan on the heat, but scrape out and set aside the cooked bacon and onion on paper towel to get rid of some of the grease. If you don't have paper towel, use a newspaper/flyer. You just don't want all that grease!
  4. Slice the potato into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Lay slices of potato in batches into the hot bacon/onion pan, and brown both sides. When they are browned (about 5 minutes), set aside on paper towel or newspaper to drain. Continue until all the potato has been browned.  
  5. Cover the base of the prepared pan with a layer of potato slices. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Top with half the bacon and onion. Then add another layer of potato (with salt and pepper), and finishing with a layer of bacon & onion.
  7. Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs and water until well combined. Gently pour the mixture over ingredients in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture has set. Cover the dish with aluminium foil if the top begins to overbrown before the egg mixture has set.
  9. Remove from oven and set aside for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.

   The last time I made this, I actually did half the pan with the recipe (and ingredients) above, and the other half with regular potatoes and cheese in the layers. The kids and my husband thought it was super tasty with the addition of cheese, and using regular potatoes.
   So, make it how you would like, and enjoy it!
