    OK, I made this last night. It was OK (and I like sweet potatoes, and eggs, and even cream cheese). But it was bland.

    I had 2 good sized sweet potatoes, baked, and cut out good sized wedges. Filled with the egg/mushroom mixture, baked, and broiled per directions. I had a LOT of egg mixture left over (my eggs were probably XL but still), so I put the cut out sweet potatoes into 2 small ramekins, and poured the leftover egg mixture over top, and continued with the recipe. They did get nice and puffy, and browned nicely.

    Odd, but I really liked the ramekin mixture better than that cooked inside the sweet potato. Maybe because the ratio of eggs to potato was higher? I just ate one of the ramekins for lunch today.

    I may have not added enough (or any) salt and pepper.
    Cream cheese melts nicely in the microwave in about 20 seconds.

    The cream cheese was kind of bland, wondering if a gruyere might be better? I think this could also use some shallots or onion with the egg mixture, or even some red pepper flakes. Definitely more chives. Anything to perk it up a bit.

    Then again we had it for dinner, maybe bland is better for breakfast?

    I think I will work on a variation of this.
