Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Stuffed sweet potatoes with scrambled eggs, maple sausage, cherry tomatoes and avocado. It’s the breakfast of champions!
I don’t know about you guys but anything that’s “stuffed” is always a plus in my book. Oreo stuffed cookies, quinoa stuffed bell peppers, stuffed portobello mushrooms, cream cheese avocado stuffed puff pastries, and so forth. I love it all! And now, I’ve found something else to stuff: sweet potatoes.
Scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes, sweet maple sausage crumbles, and of course, avocados, with oozing melting cheese on top. Yeah, that all gets stuffed in this sweet potato. It’s pretty epic. So epic that I had at least 3 of these.
Okay, I lied. I had 5. But hey, it was worth every single bite and the hour that I spent at spin class!
Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 3 large eggs, scrambled
- 3 maple sausage links
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place potatoes onto a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 1 hour, or until tender; let cool enough to handle.
- Cut each potato in half horizontally, then carefully scoop out the center of the potato, reserving for another use, leaving about 1/2-inch of potato on the skin.
- In a medium skillet, add sausage links and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat.
- Add eggs, crumbled sausage, cherry tomatoes and cheese to each potato skin. Place into oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve immediately, topped with avocados.

If I leave off avocado, can I freeze these for on the go breakfasts during my work week?
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself – there were no leftovers left to freeze! Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
can you do this with bacon aswell ? :O
Yes, absolutely.
Great idea. Just to be clear, the egg is mixed into the sausage and placed in the potato, raw, right?
Yes, that’s exactly right!
You scramble the eggs first, right? Or no??
Yes, as indicated in the ingredient list, the eggs should be scrambled first.

YUM!!! I love stuffed sweet potatoes 🙂 this looks seriously delicious!
This looks fantastic! Do you have a recipe suggestion for what to do with the potato that was scooped out?
I didn’t scoop out that much so I ended up just eating it as is! But you could always use it for a sweet potato-type soup. Hope that helps!
I love sweet potatoes & you made them even better! These are fantastic any time of day! Loving your new site too!! I’m so happy I can comment again – you’re old site wouldn’t let me for the past few weeks. It looks fantastic!

Love this idea! I was never that into sweet potatoes, but lately I’ve been using them more and more (my sister moved back home and LOVES them). Never really considered them for breakfast, though, but it makes sense – and they look amazing. I’ll for sure be trying this out.
I never really considered them for breakfast either but now I only want them for breakfast! Let me know how yours turns out 🙂

Chung-Ah, this is heaven on a breakfast plate! Delicious, but (I like to think) healthy at the same time! I adore sweet potatotes. I’ve never stuffed them like this before though. I think I need to start! x
Wow this is just gorgeous! I love it. The bits of green avo against those orange sweet potatoes is just beautiful! I’d love this any time, not just breakfast!
