I love the flavor combinations of cheese-mustard and sweet potato-cheese. I figured, why not, and made a dish with all three. This is both savory and creamy! It looks like a meringue or souffle is in my near future with all these egg whites. Always cook meals in pairs to use everything you can. Waste not, want not. Enjoy!
