Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces compliant breakfast sausage patties
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 small ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 cup spinach leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and slice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You will need four rounds, two for each serving. Lay the sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet, brush each side with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, and season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender, flipping halfway through the baking time.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Cook the compliant breakfast sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook to your liking, whether it's over-easy, medium, or hard. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, remaining salt, and pepper.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, assemble the Egg McMuffin by layering as follows: place a baked sweet potato round on a plate, spread a layer of mashed avocado on top, add a sausage patty, a fried egg, a handful of spinach leaves, and top with another sweet potato round. Repeat for the second serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 compliant Homemade Egg McMuffin.
