Description

Crispy sweet potato waffles stacked with creamy avocado, fresh greens, cucumber slices, smoked salmon, and a perfectly fried egg—this nutrient-packed, colorful breakfast sandwich is equal parts indulgent and energizing.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Sweet Potato Waffles:
  • 1 cup grated raw sweet potato
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray (for waffle iron)
  • Filling:
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 handful baby spinach or arugula
  • 2 fried eggs
  • 2 slices smoked salmon (optional for non-veg)
  • Salt and cracked black pepper
  • Pomegranate seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease with olive oil spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine grated sweet potato, eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Scoop mixture into the hot waffle iron and cook for 4–5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Repeat for second waffle.
  4. While waffles cook, fry your eggs to desired doneness.
  5. To assemble, place one waffle on a plate. Layer with spinach, smoked salmon (if using), avocado, cucumber slices, and the fried egg.
  6. Top with second waffle, crack some fresh pepper on top, and garnish with pomegranate seeds for a burst of color and flavor.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick waffle iron to ensure easy release of sweet potato waffles.
  • Smoked salmon can be omitted for a vegetarian version.
  • Pomegranate seeds add a delightful crunch and sweetness—highly recommended.
  • You can prepare waffles in advance and reheat them in a toaster or oven.
