Instructions
- Mise En Place
Gather measured ingredients, a sheet pan, fork, knife, spoon, bowl, skillet, and spatula, then rinse and dry the sweet potato. · 5 min
What to look for: Ingredients are measured and the sweet potato skin is clean and dry.
- Bake Sweet Potato
Heat oven to 204°C / 400°F, rub sweet potato with half the olive oil, pierce with a fork, and bake on a sheet pan until very soft. · 45 min
What to look for: Skin looks wrinkled and the centers collapse easily when pressed.
- Warm Black Bean
Warm black bean in a skillet with 2 tbsp water until steaming and lightly creamy, mashing a few beans with the spoon. · 5 min
What to look for: Beans are glossy, hot, and slightly creamy around the edges.
- Cook Egg
Cook egg in the skillet with remaining olive oil until the whites set and the yolks stay softly runny. · 4 min
What to look for: Whites are opaque and edges are lightly set while yolks remain glossy.
- Fill Potato
Split each sweet potato lengthwise, fluff the centers with a fork, and fold in warm black bean and cheese so the cheese softens. · 3 min
What to look for: Centers look fluffy and the cheese begins to melt into the warm filling.
- Serve Warm
Top each stuffed sweet potato with a cooked egg and avocado, then serve warm while the filling is creamy and the egg is tender. · 2 min
What to look for: Each potato is fully loaded with egg on top and avocado scattered over the filling.

Ingredient substitutions
Sweet potato
- Small sweet potato: Use the same total weight of smaller sweet potatoes for faster baking.
Egg
- Black bean: Use extra warmed black bean if avoiding egg, though the dish loses its classic breakfast egg character.
Black bean
- Egg: Use extra egg for a softer, richer breakfast filling with less bean texture.
Cheese
- Avocado: Use avocado for creamy richness without milk, but the filling will be less salty and less melty.
Avocado
- Cheese: Use extra cheese for richness if avocado is unavailable, but the topping will be saltier.
Olive oil
- Butter: Use butter for a rounder dairy flavor and slightly richer egg.
