Sweet Potato Egg Sliders
Serves 1 person
1/4 medium sweet potato
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon ghee
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 to 2 eggs
Salt, pepper to taste
Cut the sweet potato into thin slices and toss in olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. You should aim to have 6 to 8 slices. Place slices in a hot pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Set aside.
Add ghee and diced onions to the pan. When the onions are translucent, add 1 to 2 whisked eggs and scramble until finished. Use a spoon to put the scrambled eggs on top of half of the sweet potato slices. Complete the sliders by adding the rest of the sweet potato slices on top of the eggs.
