This Protein-Packed Sweet Potato Egg Casserole is a nourishing and satisfying dish made with roasted sweet potatoes, eggs, veggies, and cheese. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or meal prep and delivers a balanced mix of protein, fiber, and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, sauté chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper in a skillet until soft. Add spinach or kale and cook until wilted.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread roasted sweet potatoes in the casserole dish, layer sautéed veggies on top, and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Pour egg mixture over the top, gently shaking the pan to distribute evenly.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is golden.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add cooked turkey sausage or crumbled tofu for extra protein.
  • Swap sweet potatoes with butternut squash, cauliflower, or regular potatoes.
  • Use plant-based cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add extra flavor.
  • Freezes well—wrap individual slices for grab-and-go meals.
