Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 egg
- 2 slices bacon strips
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 avocado
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the sweet potato and cut it into four thick, circular slices, each roughly 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are just tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer them to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for an additional 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Step 4
While the sweet potatoes are in the oven, wipe the skillet clean and cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain excess fat.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil and crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it thinly.
Step 7
To assemble the Paleo McMuffin, place a sweet potato round on a plate. Top with a few spinach leaves, one strip of bacon, half of the egg, and some slices of avocado. Place another sweet potato round on top to complete the sandwich. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second McMuffin.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Paleo Bacon and Egg McMuffin!
