Sweet Potato Egg Cups

These sweet potato egg cups are one of my favorite make ahead breakfasts! The slight sweetness in the sweet potatoes pairs really nicely with the onion and pepper flavors! They are full of protein and vegetables to help you have sustained energy throughout the day! Pair a Sweet Potato Egg Cup with a Chocolate Banana Muffin and you have a complete breakfast!
