Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel the sweet potato and slice it into four 1/4-inch thick rounds, aiming for uniform thickness.
Step 3
Use a small glass or cookie cutter, about 2 inches in diameter, to remove the center of each sweet potato slice, creating rings with a hole in the center. These will be your baskets.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Place the sweet potato rings in the skillet and cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they start to soften and turn golden brown.
Step 6
Season the rings with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Carefully crack one egg into each of the sweet potato rings, ensuring the yolk sits in the center.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the egg baskets sit for a minute to cool slightly.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Egg in a Basket warm.
