So my egg bake this week is a platform for the avocados. They could be added and cooked with the egg bake, but I prefer them raw.
I was at Aldi getting some stuff for lunch and they had sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes go great with butter!
When people ask me how I cook sweet potatoes, I like to say "I cook the hell out of them."
I cook them at high heat for a long time.
Normally I would cook them for a full hour if I was serving them alone. Then they would also absorb the butter and they are incredible. But since I'll be cooking them again with the eggs, I stopped them after 30 minutes and then reduced the temperature to 350.
While the sweet potatoes finished, I mixed 18 eggs with cream, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
It's so beautiful!
The last step is cutting an avocado in half, and returning half to the fridge for tomorrow.

After about 20 minutes I added a diced onion to the sweet potatoes and returned them to the oven for the remaining 10 minutes.

Added to the pan, with lots of melted butter swirling around!
Back in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes.
Yum!
I wish I would have added bacon to this one. When a lot of vegetables are added to an egg bake, the bacon can get lost. But in such a simple bake, the bacon would have been really nice with the avocado. It's delicious as-is, but if anyone wants to copy this week's bake, you might want to cut up some bacon and fry it before adding it over the sweet potatoes.
