Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Grate the sweet potato using largest grating size on grater. Place grated potatoes in a towel or cheesecloth to drain any excess liquid.
- Using your hands, place the grated sweet potatoes evenly into 12 muffin cups; spread the potatoes thinly on the bottom and on sides of muffin cups. Spray the muffin cups with cooking spray and bake on your lower oven rack for 25 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking; sauté the ham in a pan over medium heat for 3 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the egg beaters, ham, and pepper.
- Remove the sweet potato muffins from the oven. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, dividing it evenly to fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through.
