1. Toss sweet potatoes, onions, garlic and spinach with a drizzle of evoo and season with salt and pepper; spread into a 9x13 baking dish and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees.
2. Remove dish from oven and crack eggs evenly and spread out over vegetables.
3. Season eggs with dash of paprika and pepper.
4. Crumble as much gorgonzola cheese over the entire as desired.
5. Bake for additional 10-15 minutes (the longer cook time=the hard the egg yolk).

Cooks note to share:  who would have thought gorgonzola and eggs?  Well, although I have not posted past egg bakes, ask family and friends and they will inform you I tend to make them quite often.  Truthfully, I had a wedge of gorgonzola I wanted to use and wanted a different way-voila-breakfast for dinner!  Now feel free to make this for any hour of the day.  The protein from the eggs and the fiber in the sweet potatoes  will keep you feeling full longer, and well we all know that we are supposed to eat spinach because of its health benefits  - if you don’t know, check out 11 health benefits of spinach.

*I put this dinner in the oven to finish baking on my way out the door to a yoga class, I asked my dear mother to snap a photo if she could.  While I appreciate that she photographed this, the picture doesn't quite do it justice-try it out and you will see it is a visually appealing dish!
