Sweet Potato Breakfast Bake (whole30, paleo)

GOOOOD MOOORNING interweb friends.

Let me introduce you to the best type of food. BREAKFAST FOOD.

Breakfast food, meet interweb friends. Interweb friends, meet breakfast food.

The reason breakfast food is so good is because you can have it for breakfast(duh), for lunch (three cheers for brunch!) or for dinner(who doesn’t love pancakes for dinner?!).

My favourite breakfast foods involve eggs. I like to dream up different ways to eat eggs and recently, I have been eating this Thai inspired sweet potato breakfast bake that is of course, Whole30 complaint.  Sound delicious? Because it is!

Are you ready to give it a go?

This breakfast bake uses coconut milk, ground coriander, ginger, lime, and cumin and it comes together SO NICELY.  The flavour is spot on and I love having leftovers the next day as well.  It is not a crispy and crunchy sweet potato bake.  The potatoes are soaked in the coconut milk and spices so they become very soft and tender.

This is a pretty simple recipe to throw together, the toughest part being cooking the eggs to perfection (and I do like my eggs to be Perfection).  I like broiling them in the oven for 2-4 minutes which also crisps up the top of the sweet potatoes for a little crunch. BUT! watch the oven carefully as the eggs cook very quickly this way!
