Method
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a light sheen of melted fat.
- 2
Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate, then melt the butter in the skillet and sauté the sweet potato hash for 6 minutes until tender and lightly browned at the edges.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, briskly whisk the eggs, skim milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for 2 minutes until thoroughly blended and lightly frothy.
- 4
Spread the warm sautéed sweet potato hash in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then scatter the cooked bacon and two-thirds of the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes.
- 5
Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, bacon, and cheddar cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly across the top.
- 6
Bake at 375°F for 25 to 27 minutes until the casserole is puffed, lightly golden across the top, and firmly set in the center.
- 7
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 generous squares.
For smoky bacon flavor, crumble cooked uncured bacon over the sweet potatoes before pouring the eggs. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 4 days.
