Directions
1.
Prep sweet potato ahead of time. Pierce the skin 5–6 times, place on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave for 5–7 minutes or until tender.
2.
In a large skillet, fry bacon until crispy. Remove and let cool.
3.
Add chopped onion to the skillet with the leftover bacon grease. Cook for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
4.
Once bacon is cool, dice into small pieces.
5.
Cut sweet potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the centers.
6.
Mash the scooped sweet potato in a bowl.
7.
Stir in salt, pepper, onions, and half the bacon bits. Place the sweet potato shells on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8.
Scoop the mash back into the shells, creating a large divot in each for the egg.
9.
Crack an egg into each divot and bake until the egg is cooked to your liking.
