I know what you’re thinking…REAL ORIGINAL JULI…and you’re right. This recipe isn’t a original. Really almost any paleo blog you look at out there, you can find some kind of egg muffin/egg cupcake/egg round, but that’s because it’s simple. And that’s what people like. Simple sh*t. Most people don’t like to spend hours in the kitchen, they’d rather be flirting with men at Whole Foods. That’s just me actually. Whatever. I’ve never even talked to a man at Whole Foods. I have hopes of that occurring though. Someday…someday.
Guess what I got this weekend!?!? PaleOMG Black Tanks!!!! Yes I did! Check out the link to buy your own from Renegade Fitness {NO LONGER AVAILABLE}!! We will be getting something even cooler in soon! Just you wait!
Anywho, even though this recipe is a bit dumb, it’s still super special to me. You know why?!? Because it was the first video I made of myself cooking!! So exciting! I’m not really good with being on camera. But I tried. I talked about a lot of random sh*t…but that’s what I do in my blog posts so I guess it makes sense. If you think I look stupid in the video…you’re correct. Special thanks to Tom who helped me edit this video and spent hours putting up with me and to Laura (the roomie) for recording me on a Saturday afternoon. She’s pretty damn awesome. And btw, the cooking video is on my YouTube station which has all my wod videos I had to turn in when I did the AgainFaster Wod Series. Some embarrassing. Ignore those. My b.
On-The-Go Egg Bites
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
- 1lb ground pork mild italian sausage
- 12 eggs, beaten (if preferred)
- 1–2 narrow sweet potatoes, sliced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Add your ground pork to a large skillet over medium heat. Use a spatula to break it up into crumbly pieces
- While the pork is cooking, slice your sweet potatoes a little bit thicker than a chip would be…I’d say the thickness of 2 quarters stacked together. Real technical. Then beat your eggs (unless you are going to crack them directly into the egg cups).
- Once the meat is cooked through and there is no pink remaining, transfer that to a plate (a slotted spoon will be best because it will keep the leftover fat in it, but just pouring it works as well).
- Now add your sliced sweet potatoes to the pan with the leftover fat and turn the burner on high.
- Cook for about 5 minutes per side, depending how thick they are but you want them to be soft so they will cook through fully when they are in the oven.
- Now place a cooked sweet potato slice into your silicone muffin pan or greased muffin tin, top it with a little ground pork, then another slice of slice potato and top it all off with some beaten eggs or crack an egg into it, it will bind it all together!
- Cook for about 10-15 min or until nothing oozy is moving around in the tins when you check them.
- Let cool, top with hot sauce!!
Notes
I got about 13 cups made with these ingredients!

That’s freaking awesome to hear Ashley!! I can promise you everything I make is pretty damn easy
I love that you said that you try to love tea but you don’t! I have so much tea that I don’t drink!
Lol so many boxes in my drawer and i never use any of them!
Just made these and the were a hit for the entire family! My 4 year old calls them “Egg Cupcakes” haha Thank you!!
That’s awesome!! Glad they all liked them!
Hello! I was wondering if you’ve tried freezing these?
I have not tried that Kim…
Holy eff! If I made cooking videos, this would totally be how they would turn out! I love small-kitchen-dance-parties! (And you totally don’t have a man voice!) (Enough exclamations yet?)
Never thought of using sweet potato layers–great idea. I will make these as soon as I can get some pork sausage. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for a great recipe! I live in Australia and I’m new to paleo & am constantly looking for yummy recipes to try. Having just tried these (I used beef mince with herbs & garlic) I think they’ll be a favorite, especially when working night duty! Loved the video too 🙂
Awesome job on the video, Juli! I can’t believe it took me this long to discover your site. What an awesome wealth of information and I love the way you write! It’s so refreshing to find someone else that refuses to take working out/eating healthy too seriously. 😉
Looking forward to diving in deeper here!
Just watched your video – nice job 🙂 Love your site and recipes as we’re just entering the paleo world!
Juli! Can you send the link to where you purchased your silicon baking cups?? I tried looking online and there are mixed reviews on some. thank you
They were actually given to me as a gift but you could find them at any cooking store as well!
Your recipe calls for a sweet potato but it looks like you’re actually using a Yam in your video. (Yams are more orange than sweet potatoes) Which should be used?
Either one Jenifer, they will cook pretty much the same 🙂
