Taste of Tuesday: Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Blue Cheese & Spinach


~ Hello Everyone ~

Last night I decided to jump on the meatless Monday train and make this amazing twice baked sweet potato recipe I found on In Good Taste.  This potato is so filling that I served it as the main only course; although I did make extras in case anyone wanted more.  Check out the easy & yummy recipe below.


Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Blue Cheese & Spinach

Ingredients:
4 Medium Sweet Potatoes
1/3 C reduced-fat sour cream or Greek Yogurt
4 T shredded cheddar cheese
2 oz goat cheese
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
4 oz crumbled blue cheese 
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse and dry your sweet potatoes and prick holes into their skin with a fork.  Microwave them for 4-5 minutes or until tender enough to slice easily with a knife.  

Scoop potato flesh into a small bowl and combine with yogurt or sour cream, cheeses, spinach, and salt & pepper.  Mix until ingredients are well blended and scoop about 1/3 cup filling back into each potato. Top each potato with equal amounts of blue cheese (about 2 T each potato).  Bake until blue cheese is bubbly and melted. Let stand five minutes after removing from the oven and serve warm. 


Happy Meatless Munching...(did that sound weird? Oh well!)
