Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and spray a muffin pan with cooking oil
In a large bowl, combine the shredded sweet potatoes with the olive oil, cheese, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper
Press about ⅓ cup of the shredded sweet potato mixture into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup (creating a nest shape)
Bake the nests for about 18-25 minutes, or until they begin to brown
Once the nests are baked, remove from the oven and crack an egg into each nest. Place them back into the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes. The cook time will depend on how well done you like your eggs cooked (10 mins= a runnier egg, 15 mins= hard boiled)
Remove from the oven and let the nests cool for a few minutes. I like the serve mine with avocado, green onions and hot sauce!
Notes
*Storing: these egg cups can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days
