Suggestions: * Use a pan that can go into the oven or the pan's handle will melt.

If you prefer to save some for later, hold off on melting the cheese on top until you are ready to serve it.

Cooking Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

12 oz diced peeled sweet potatoes
4 oz grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese (such as Organic Valley), divided

Place sweet potatoes in small pan and cover with water. Bring water to a boil and boil potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain.

In a separate bowl combine 1 ounce of the cheese and all of the egg whites and egg yolks. Set aside.

Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet. Add onion, bell pepper, cooked potatoes, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese-egg mixture, spreading evenly. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes.
