Ingredients

Waffle Batter

1 medium-sized sweet potato grated
1 egg
½ teaspoon paleo powder

sandwich

1 cup spinach fresh
2 slices bacon whole30 approved
2 eggs
½ avocado smashed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Place bacon on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the grease.
Peel and grate sweet potato with a box grater.
Place sweet potato, egg, and seasoning into a bowl and mix.
Plugin your waffle iron and preheat. The device will take about 5 minutes to heat up and it will ding when it's reached temperature.
Place sweet potato batter into a waffle iron making sure to spread the batter to the edges.
Set to medium heat and cook for 5 minutes or until crispy.
In a small bowl smash avocado with a fork. Add a touch of salt to bring out more flavor. ¼ teaspoon should be the perfect amount.
In a medium-size saute pan wilt spinach in a small amount of olive oil.
Grab a non-stick pan and cook eggs over a low flame. Cook 2 minutes for side for over easy.
Time to assemble the breakfast sandwich. Cut the waffle into 4 quarters. Build the sandwich with smashed avocado, bacon, wilted spinach, and soft-cooked eggs.

Notes

Cook bacon in the oven. Gone are the days of cooking bacon in a frying pan. Use an oven to get crispy, flat bacon.

Yams are the best. What makes this recipe good is the sweet and salty flavors you get from the bacon and yams.

Squeeze the grated sweet potatoes. Vegetables contain a lot of water. Removing the liquid will give you a crispy waffle.

Preheat the waffle iron. You never want to cook a waffle on a lukewarm waffle iron. Wait until your device alerts you before the sweet potato waffle frenzy begins.

Cooking Spray. Most newer waffle irons are non-stick, but it's a good insurance policy to use a good quality cooking spray. I like this avocado spray from chosen foods.

Slow-cooked eggs. The trick to the perfect emoji eggs is using a non-stick pan on a super low flame.
