Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the large sweet potato under cool water and pat it dry. Slice it lengthwise into 3/4-inch thick slices. You can typically get 2-3 slices from a large potato.
Step 3
Using a round cookie cutter or a knife, cut a circular hole (about 2 inches in diameter) in the center of each sweet potato slice. Save the cut-out pieces for another use, if desired.
Step 4
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sweet potato slices, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and starting to soften.
Step 5
Transfer the sweet potato slices to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Crack an egg into each hole of the sweet potato slices. Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the eggs.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Transfer to plates and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if using.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your paleo-friendly breakfast!
