Paleo Breakfast Nachos

Guess what!? This week I have my very first guest poster over here at the Whole Smiths. If you’ve been following me over on Instagram (you can do it HERE), you know that I’ve been working on a super-secret, super-duper cool project. While I can’t yet tell you what it is (it’s a secret, remember?), I can tell you it will be worth the wait. I promise.

An easy-to-make breakfast that's paleo friendly and gluten-free. Perfect for brunch get togethers or any given Wednesday morning. A MUST MAKE!

And because I’m spending every waking hour busting my hump to get it done for you, I’ve have lined up some really amazing guest posters and recipes to help me out over here in blog world.

My first guest blogger is someone who I am blessed to call a friend, Kristen from Living, Loving Paleo. If you aren’t already following her blog or Instagram, it’s a must. Not only is she funny, sweet and kind she’s a total badass. Like, I want to be her when I grow up. Over at Living, Loving Paleo she shares about her battle and ultimate triumph with Crohn’s disease and her adventures training to be a covert, ninja spy. Ok, maybe she’s not actually a ninja spy but she should be because she knows how to do amazing ninja things that I can only dream of at this point.

In short, I adore her and Kristen is truly one of my favorite parts of this whole blogging, paleo adventure I’ve been on. So Kristen, thank you for always being a sounding board, inspiration and all around amazing person in my life. You are truly one of the greatest co-workers (?) and friends a girl could ask for.

Without further delay let’s get to these Paleo Breakfast Nachos, take it away Kristen…

Have you ever met someone that you just instantly connected with? That was exactly how I felt when I first met Michelle, the brilliant creator of this website! Over the years she’s become such a good friend that I’m so fortunate to have in my life. You can trust that she’s just as amazing in real life as you all think she is! Even more amazing than these Breakfast Nachos, and THAT’S saying a lot, cause these are gooooood! I mean, you guys, I recently found out that she’s as big of a fan as the TV show Hey Dude as I am…what’s not to love?! Do you remember that show? It was the BEST.

Anyway, I guess we’re here to talk food…yeah? Food is pretty much my favorite subject, and I’m so stoked to be guest posting here today! These breakfast nachos are such a fun way to switch up your typical breakfast, and would be awesome to make for a big brunch with friends! Your friends will LOVE you if you make these for them.

I mean, can you imagine going to someone’s house for brunch and they made you breakfast nachos? Who doesn’t love brunch? And nachos?!

I used my favorite grain-free tortilla chips to make these breakfast nachos, but you can just as easily use plantain chips, or any chips that you love. The “cheese” sauce is so legit that you’ll never guess that it’s completely dairy-free! Plus it’s a breeze to make, so there’s that. Everyone loves easy – that’s a FACT.

Enjoy this recipe for these Breakfast Nachos!

Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time15 mins
Total Time30 mins
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: paleo gluten free
Servings: 2 -4
Author: the Whole Smiths / Living, Loving Paleo

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Siete grain-free tortilla chips plantain chips, or your favorite chips
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage or 4 links maple sausage I used Whole Foods brand bulk sausage
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 4 eggs whisked
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 tablespoon chives minced
  • 1 cup raw cashew pieces soaked (see directions below)
  • ¾ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Place the cashews into a clean bowl. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and then pour the water over the cashews to soak. The cashews should be fully immersed in the water. Set aside.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy, and then place on a plate lined with paper towels. Crumble the bacon once it’s cool enough to handle.
  • Add the diced/crumbled sausage to the pan and sauté until cooked through. Place the sausage into a clean bowl and set aside.
  • Add the bell pepper to the pan and sauté until softened. Place the bell pepper into the bowl with the sausage. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Drain the fat from the pan, leaving 1 tablespoon to cook the eggs.
  • Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and as soon as they begin to set, use a spatula to push them away from the sides of the pan and fold them over, until they’re cooked to your liking.
  • To make the cheese sauce, drain and rinse the cashews. Place the cashews into your blender, along with the remaining “cheese” ingredients. Blend on high for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Top the chips with the crumbled bacon, breakfast sausage, bell pepper, scrambled eggs, avocado, chives and drizzle with the “cheese” sauce. ENJOY!

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
