Sometimes I can’t make up my mind – am I doing low carb? No carb? Full-on carb?
I guess my diet depends on my mood…
And how the scale is tipping that particular week!
This meal is the perfect combination when my mood is swinging towards the no-carb zone and I’m in the mood for a hearty breakfast. Instead of a piece of toast for the base, I use thin sliced sweetpotatoes!
The trick is to slice them all at the same time and keep them in the fridge so they are ready to go when you need them!
I baked mine in the oven, but you can easily toast them up in a regular toaster (I’ve had it both ways). The toppings are what allow you to have a little bit of fun and creativity.
I topped mine with a layer of chive sprinkled cream cheese, sliced avocado, and crunchy radish!
I used a mandolin to slice the sweetpotato into consistent 1/4″ slices (perfect size for toasting).
Layer as many slices as you’d like on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Drizzle with California olive oil and dust with salt and pepper.
Bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Allow to cool for a few minutes and add your toppings. The cream cheese I use is pre-whipped and super easy to spread. I added 2 slices of avocado…
And a few slices of radish…
And last but certainly not least, topped with a fried egg.
A fried egg makes everything better, does it not?
Dig in and enjoy!
