Welcome!

I'm Christi, a Marketing & Branding Exec and Insta Chef. Here's the deal, I lost 90lbs, but I love food and eating, so I started cooking to reinvent my favorites into healthier alternatives. It's usually healthy, generally paleo-ish, sometimes Whole30. I will never be able to live without good cheese!

Sweet Potato & Chive Waffle With Poached Eggs

Sweet Potato & Chive Waffle With Poached Eggs

Ingredients:
1 Large Sweet Potato, shredded (2 packed cups)
1.5 Tbsp. Chives, chopped, plus more for garnish
1 Large Egg
Salt & Pepper
2 Large Eggs, room temp
1 Tbsp. Distilled White Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Sea Salt
Smoked Salmon

Instructions:
Shred It:

  1. Heat waffle iron to high
  2. Using a thin kitchen towel, drain the excess moisture from your shredded sweet potato
  3. Mix in chives
  4. Season with salt & pepper
  5. Add your egg and mix to combine
  6. Spray your waffle iron with a little olive oil
  7. Distribute your sweet potato mixture evenly, and cook until your waffle iron says it's ready
  8. Using a heat-safe spatula, gently loosen the edges and carefully transfer to a plate (this part is tricky). 

Poach It: (I use the method from The Broad Fork, it’s everything!)

  1. Put 2 quarts of cold water & distilled white vinegar in your poaching pot & start to bring it to a boil
  2. Crack your eggs into individual ramekins
  3. Once boiled, add 1 tbsp. sea salt to your water
  4. Reduce your heat so your water is trembling, but not boiling
  5. Swirl the water a few times with a large spoon
  6. While the water is still swirling, gently pour each egg into the water individually
  7. Cook 4 min for a soft yolk
  8. Spoon out the eggs with a slatted spoon

Some Assembly Required:

  1. Top waffle with smoked salmon, poached eggs, and garnish with more chopped chives
