I love breakfast sandwiches and I thought I wouldn't be able to have them anymore when I eliminated gluten and dairy. But I discovered that homemade breakfast sausage on sweet potato buns with a perfectly cooked egg and sliced avocado was even better than the ones I remembered!
I bake both the sweet potato rounds and sausage patties in the oven to make things super easy. For the 'bun' I find a larger, round sweet potato and peel it, then slice into rounds. You can leave the skin on too, just make sure to scrub it clean and dry it before you slice it. The rounds go onto a lined baking sheet and I spray them with avocado oil spray and season with a little salt and pepper.
You can buy pre-made sausage patties for this, but it can be hard to find ones that are Whole30 compliant. I like to make mine homemade whether I am doing a round or not because I can season exactly how I like it. I use plain ground pork and add my favorite spices, it gets mixed in a large bowl and then I form into patties. The patties go on another lined baking sheet to bake in the oven.
I wanted to make the eggs like a fast food breakfast sandwich, so I used these super cute ring molds! You can also just make a regular fried egg or even spray a mason jar lid with oil as a homemade ring mold. I topped mine with a thin slice of avocado, but you can get creative. I love to add a little dollop of my Spicy Garlic Aioli to make it a little saucy.

- Layer the sandwiches with a sweet potato bun, sausage patty, egg, slice of avocado and top with another sweet potato bun
Yum! This was SO good and delicious, easy to make! I used guacamole on top that I had on hand instead of an avocado and it was perfect! Next time I'm going to add a little hot sauce on top as well, but the red pepper flakes do add a little heat which was great.
So excited to try these! How do you recommend these for meal prep? Should I freeze them to use throughout the week or do they keep well in the fridge? Thanks!
Made these this morning! Absolutely perfect idea for getting this quarantine weight off. Thank you!
My absolute favorite!!! Cannot go wrong with these on the menu for a lazy weekend breakfast! <3
