Ingredients
- 4 slices
- Sensations by Compliments Extra Thick-Cut Bacon, Maple Wood Smoked, or other bacon
- 1 tbsp
- maple syrup
- 15 mL
- 2
- sweet potatoes
- ⅓ cup
- finely crumbled goat cheese, divided
- 75 mL
- 1½ tsp
- finely chopped fresh thyme
- 7 mL
- 1
- small clove garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp
- each salt and pepper
- 1 mL
- 1 tbsp
- finely chopped fresh chives
- 15 mL
Directions
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange bacon slices, at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with maple syrup. Bake 20 to 25 min., or until crisp and golden brown. Cool 5 min. then finely chop; set aside.
- Step 2
- Meanwhile, pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork. Microwave, on HIGH, 10 to 12 min, or until fork-tender. Using tongs or oven mitts, transfer to cutting board. Cool 10 min.
- Step 3
- Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Scoop flesh into a bowl (leaving a thin wall of flesh inside the intact skins to maintain their shape). Mash the scooped sweet potato until smooth. Stir in ¼ cup (60 mL) goat cheese, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly into the 4 sweet potato shells. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Step 4
- Bake 18 to 20 min., or until heated through. Garnish with reserved bacon, remaining goat cheese and chives.
Tip
Substitute feta for goat cheese, and green onions for chives.
