Ingredients
- 1 – 2 Sweet potatoes (1 big one or 2 small/medium sizes)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of broccoli (chopped)
- 8 eggs (4 for mixing; 4 to use as whole)
- 1 cup of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese (I used mozzarella)
For egg mixture
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons – ¼ cup of chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped onions
- 2 tablespoons of chopped bell pepper
- A dash of white pepper, thyme
- ¼ teaspoon seasoning bouillon powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Oil spray (or another tablespoon of olive oil to grease the pan)
Instructions
- Wash and cut/chop the vegetables (broccoli, tomatoes, onions), and peel the potatoes. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350

- Thinly slice or shave potatoes using a box shredder or a vegetable peeler. Please check out my explanation and photo inside the post to do it correctly. Then season with a dash of salt, pepper, thyme, olive oil, and a dash of bouillon seasoning. Then mix well.
- Line the muffin pan with the sliced potatoes. Add little shredded cheeses to the muffin pan and place in the oven to bake for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool completely.
- Crack four eggs in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, bullion powder, add onions, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Combine.
- Add the broccoli to 3 – 4 muffins (or more, as you wish). Use an ice cream scooper, and scoop the egg mixture into eight muffin pans.
- Then add one whole egg to each of the four remaining muffin pans; sprinkle some salt, pepper, thyme, bullion powder to season.
- Sprinkle grated cheese on some of the cups (or all of them) as you wish.
- Bake for 12 – 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
