Alright guys, you know I like to prep my breakfast at the beginning of
the week for an easy on the go meal. I have noticed while being on the paleo
diet, there are not a lot of make-ahead delicious meals that fit my taste buds.
And since this is my second time on the diet, I have definitely figured out
what works best for our little family and what recipes to stay clear of. For example, butternut squash soup was not a
winner in the Nissen household. So here you go, here is my favorite low-carb,
paleo breakfast item to make.
Ingredients:
1 lb breakfast sausage
7 eggs
½ lb bacon
½ – ¾ large sweet potato or 2 small sweet potatoes
(cut into cudes)
½ onion (I always use yellow, they’re not as tart)
½ tablespoon minced garlic
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350
Place sausage in a mixing bowl and mix in one egg.
Place the meat mixture in a 9 X 13 glass casserole dish. This is going
to be your crust so press it into the bottom and corners of your dish
Put in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the sausage is lightly brown
on top. It doesn’t need to be completely cooked since you’re going to cook it
again with the rest of the ingredients
While the sausage is baking, cut up your ½ lb of bacon into little bits
and throw it into a skillet on medium-high heat until crispy. Transfer the
bacon to a plate with paper towels and drain your skillet leaving about 2
tablespoons of grease.
Add garlic, onion, and sweet potato to the pan. Stir them around and
let cook for about 10 minutes or until your sweet potatoes are tender.
While this is cooking whip together the remaining 6 eggs
Once your sweet potato mixture is done, make the layers on top of your
sausage in your casserole dish. Add the sweet potato mixture, then your eggs
over your sweet potatoes and lately add your bacon.
Place in the oven for about 30 minutes checking with a toothpick or
knife for doneness.
