Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 1 lb (454 g) ham steak
- 1 large (300 g) sweet potato
- 1 bunch (80 g) green onions
- 1 cup (112 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tsp (3 g) salt
- 1 tsp (3 g) pepper
- 1 tsp (3 g) garlic powder
- 1 tbsp (15 g) oil
Instructions
For the Egg Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C).
- Chop your green onion tops into ¼ inch pieces and the whites into thin slices. Wash and peel your sweet potato and shred it into small pieces using a box grater or cut it into very small pieces using a knife. Cut the ham into a large dice.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in the oil and brown the scallion whites and sweet potatoes for a couple of minutes to develop more flavor. Season very lightly with salt and pepper. The ham is already salty as is.
- Make room in the center and add the ham to brown up the edges.
- In a large bowl, crack 10 eggs and beat to combine. Add in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, green onion tops, and cheddar cheese. Stir to combine.
- Spray a 13"x9" casserole dish with oil. Dump the potatoes, onions, and ham into the bottom. Pour the egg mixture over the top and mix.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until set in the center.
Plating
- This recipe makes 5 servings. Cut the egg bake into 10 equal pieces and each serving is 2 slices. You can keep this in the casserole dish or move to meal prep containers for storage.

This was a great jumping off point for me. Thank you
Great recipe. I add 1/2 tsp of baking powder and use a hand mixer on the eggs to get a sorta quiche texture, 10/10!
So delicious and easy! I added some everything bagel seasoning to the egg mixture just to give it more of that breakfast bagel flavoring
Not a huge sweet potato fan, but I subbed them for frozen hashbrowns. Stupid easy to make, and delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
I love this recipe. I’ve been eating it for weeks, maybe months, straight. I buy the ham already cubed, stupid quick and easy to put together. I throw this together and let it bake while I prep my lunches (Josh’s ground chicken taco bowls right now) for the week and everything comes together in about an hour and a half.
This is soo friggin good. The perfect high protein snack, instead of eating crap. good job!
Just made it yesterday, and I’m presently surprised. Swapped ham for spiced mince, since you can’t really get that type of maw where I live. It’s great, and reheats amazingly although next time I will try it with standard potatoes instead of sweet.
This is amazing. I had to swap out the ham for 10 strips of cooked bacon because I forgot to get the ham at the store and I wasn’t going to go back for one ingredient. Still, the flavors of the sweet potatoes, bacon, and cheese are great together. I also added 1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese to the egg mixture to get some more protein in there and keep the moistness of the dish overall. This is going to be a regular going forward.
New family favorite!! Great basic recipe that’s easy to adjust with what you have on hand. You can easily mix up the veggies…red onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic are my favorite additions. I’ve even used left over pork chops cut into small pieces. Super awesome.YouTube. forward to exploring your other recipes and following you on Youtube.
