The Best Whole 30 Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs over Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Crispy bacon and gooey eggs melting over baked sweet potato chips. Yumm!!! This is seriously one of the best meals ever.  To keep it special, I normally only cook it for breakfast on the weekends but it's so good that my husband will even ask for it for dinner some nights.

Ingredients:
Organic Sweet Potatoes (I buy mine from Costco)
Dried Rosemary (I like to crush mine in a mortar/pestle before using)
Kosher Salt
Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Melted Coconut Oil
Bacon (I get the Pure Country brand from PCC)
Eggs

The potatoes take about 30-45 minutes, so start with them first.

Sweet Potato Chips
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place parchment paper over a cookie sheet. I slice the potatoes using a mandolin slicer so that they are the same thickness. This is important to ensure they cook somewhat evenly. I spread my potatoes all over the cookie sheet but they are not in a single layer (I used to do that but it takes FOREVER to make all the chips).
3. Gently sprinkle kosher salt all over. Too much and it will be too salty.
4. Lightly sprinkle crushed dried rosemary.
5. Crack some fresh black pepper all over.
6. Drizzle your melted coconut oil all over the chips.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, then gently stir them around. Bake for another 15 minutes.
8. Serve by layering your baked sweet potato chips under your eggs, then your bacon.

While the chips are baking in the last 15 minutes, start your bacon. I like to cook mine in one of those counter top convection ovens with a halogen light. There are a lot of different brands out there but this is the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/Secura-Countertop-Convection-Cooking-787MH/dp/B004B0Y0HO/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1422942943&sr=1-1&keywords=secura+turbo+oven&pebp=1422942970840&peasin=B004B0Y0HO.  It takes about 10 minutes or less to make bacon and seriously, it makes the best bacon! So much better than pan frying, microwaving, or baking bacon. But if you don't have one of those, use whatever method you currently do to make your bacon.

Towards the last few minutes, make your eggs. We like to cook our eggs over easy/medium so that the yolks melt all over the potato chips. Enjoy!
