I try not to consume eggs regularly. They make me bloat. But that’s because my body is an asshole and is incredibly sensitive. You wouldn’t think my body would be like most of the guys I’ve dated. Kidding. I don’t date assholes. Nor do I really date. I like food more than dating. Food doesn’t have emotions. Nor do I. Therefore, we get alone well. Anyways, have any of you dealt with this issue? With the eggs, not the dudes? Not sure? Look down. Are you bloated? Can you see your goods? Did you consume eggs this morning? That’s how I figured it out. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Now that we’ve talked about my digestive issues, let’s chat about the actual meal. I decided to make this because I really never make breakfast that is worthy of blogging about. I almost always eat leftovers for breakfast so that means I’m usually consuming some kind of random reheated meat and a butt load of fat. So I thought it would be nice to make some breakfast for my roommate (the Laursters) because she’s so awesome. Who doesn’t love cooking for friends? Assholes, that’s who. I fall under the category far too often. Damn.
Paleo Savory Breakfast Casserole
- Yield: 6-9 1x
Ingredients
- 12 eggs, whisked
- 1lb chorizo, cooked and broken into pieces
- 1 sweet potato, shredded
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (I used Siracha)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Start things off right by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.
- First you’ll want to get your chorizo (or other choice of meat) cooking. So add your chorizo to a hot skillet and let cook until it begins to crumble.
- While the meat is cooking, dice up your onion and shred your sweet potato. I shredded mine by throwing it in a food processor, using the shredding attachment. Genius.
- Now, beat those eggs of yours in a large bowl.
- Add the cooked meat, onion, and sweet potato to the bowl with the whisked eggs. Then add the rest of your ingredients and mix all together.
- Grease an 8×8 baking dish and add your egg mixture to it.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes until the eggs aren’t runny. The middle takes a bit longer so just be patient.
- Let sit for 10+ minutes before consuming.
- Then consume.

Sooo good! It was a big hit with my family, including my two year old, excluding my four year old who is currently eating only five foods :p I made double the recipe so I could have leftovers and keep myself from inhaling a certain brand of small cheddar crackers when I get peckish.
This was awesome! It’s similar to another paleo recipe I have, but more eggs and less sweet potato. My son is into helping me cook dinner right now, but the only thing he could do to help me with this recipe was break open the eggs into a large bowl. I like the idea of adding some veggies. I think I might try a little broccoli or kale next time.
Thanks a lot for ruining my love affair with eggs! I blame you for our immediate break up! After reading that you bloat from them, I put two and two together! Oh snap! That’s what my problem has been these past months…..
My husband and I are on our second week of Paleo, we had breakfast meatloafs last week, and I made this last night for breakfast for the week. Absolutely delish! Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely be checking your site for more recipe ideas!
Juli!
I’ve been meaning to tell you that I am straight up ADDICTED to this recipe. I make it each week so I can grab it and go each morning, and I must confess that a little sadness washes over me each morning when I finish my portion because of course I want MORE. I even add other veggies or spices just to jazz it up so I’m not bored.
Thank you for saving my breakfast woes!!!!
i love this one too!! i take this recipe with me when i go camping or on trips that have a fridge! glad you like it as much as i do 🙂
Love this! My first recipe that I’ve tried from here!!
Amazing! Used Cholula, because thats what my family prefers. Can’t wait to try some variations, maybe adding peppers or greens, or substituting red onions. Anyone else need extra cooking time? Took 45 minutes, has anyone tried covering?
Just got started with paleo over the past few weeks and have made a few of your recipes so far (including this one) and they’ve all been great! I’m really liking this one for breakfasts on the go, considering trying it with different meats as well— maybe bacon? Wondering if you or others have tried this! Thanks!
bacon would be great!! just make sure to cook it on the stove top before you add it to the casserole and bake it
Okay, so I made this for dinner tonight. (Ironic, isn’t it, that you often eat leftover dinner for breakfast and here I am making breakfast for dinner?) Anywho, I used ground turkey and cooked it in my cast iron 12″ skillet. Added chopped onions, garlic, celery and red/green bell peppers, then sauteed til tender. Then threw in the grated sweet potato and some chopped fresh kale for a few minutes, until the kale softened. I added the spices, along with 1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning (addicted to that stuff), some Trader Joe’s Salsa Verde in place of the hot sauce (was afraid it might be too spicy for the kids), threw in the scrambled eggs, then stuck the whole thing in the preheated oven. Well, actually, I emptied the skillet first, cleaned and dried it, then added some bacon grease to help the eggs not stick as much. Then I put the entire mixture back in the skillet on the stove and heated it a bit before baking in the oven for 25 minutes. It was completely done in the middle, with no need to wait another 10 minutes. I served it with Wholly Guacamole, additional TJ’s Salsa Verde, and fresh chopped tomatoes. Delish.
My 12-year-old son said, “Mom, this should be renamed ‘Best Egg Casserole Ever.'” This statement comes from a kid who used to HATE eggs until we had to do without them for quite a few months due to food intolerances in the family. We’re finally allowed to eat them again, so I’m slowly accumulating Paleo egg recipes. I’ll be making this again, I’m sure. Our family of 5 devoured all but a small piece of this in one sitting.
Made it last night and reheated it for breakfast this morning. This is really excellent!
