# Instructions:

01 - Once it’s out of the oven, let everything hang out for 10 minutes. Grab a long, serrated knife and cut it into 12 squares. Serve it up hot, or keep it chilled if you like.
02 - Sprinkle the cheese you saved on top, then pop it back in the oven. Wait until the cheese gets all melty and gooey.
03 - Dump the thick mixture into the lined dish, even it out, and bake for about an hour.
04 - Add your shredded sweet potatoes and greens into the bowl. Stir till it looks even and thick.
05 - Pour in almond milk, two-thirds of your cheese, green onions, and jalapeños. Whisk till it’s all mixed in.
06 - Crack eggs into a big bowl, toss in taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Give it a good whisk for half a minute.
07 - Fire up your oven to 190°C. Lay non-bleached parchment paper in a 23x33 cm baking pan and hit it with some cooking spray.

# Notes:

01 - Pop the cooled dish in a sealed container and keep it in your fridge up to 5 days, or stash it in your freezer for as long as 3 months.
02 - You can put this whole dish together up to 2 days ahead, then refrigerate and bake later.
03 - Leave out cheese and switch dairy milk for plant milk if you need a non-dairy option.
04 - Want extra flavor? Toss in some pre-cooked bell peppers, mushrooms, or even cooked turkey sausage or bacon.
