The Sweet Potato Cheddar Breakfast Squares Recipe is a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for starting your day on a nutritious note.
Ingredients
- Sweet potatoes – 2 medium (about 500 grams), peeled and diced
- Sharp cheddar cheese – 1 cup (about 100 grams), shredded
- Eggs – 4 large
- Green onions – 1/4 cup, chopped
- Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
- Olive oil – 2 tablespoons

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with olive oil.
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil, add the diced sweet potatoes, and cook for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.
- Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, eggs, chopped green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares or rectangles.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
