Cheesy Baked Sweet Potato  from The Biggest Loser

Ingredients

1 (6-ounce) sweet potato, scrubbed
1 wedge (3/4 oz) Laughing Cow Light Garlic & Herb Cheese

Directions
With a fork, poke the potato 5 times on each side. Place in a microwave-safe bowl or on a microwave-safe dish. 
Cover the bowl or dish loosely with a paper towel and microwave on high for 5 minutes. 
Carefully flip the potato (it will be very hot) and microwave 3 to 5 minutes longer, or until it is tender throughout. 
You also have the option to bake it, but this is much faster.

Cut an opening stretching from 1 inch from each end and deep enough to open the potato completely without cutting it in half. Spread the cheese evenly in the center, mash it into the potato slightly with a fork to melt, and serve.
