Paleo Breakfast Casserole

As a busy busy girl lately, I need quick and easy meals! Even when I’m not busy, sometimes I just don’t want to do the dishes (lazy girl!) So that’s when recipes like this come in. Today I am sharing a Paleo Breakfast Casesrole. 

Paleo Breakfast Casserole : the perfect breakfast, served hot or cold

The only thing that makes this recipe different from a frittata is that I put it in a thicker dish, so it seemed more suitable to call it a casserole. When a dish is filled with this much color, you know that it is healthy and has a great variety of nutrients. I recently have become a nutrient seeker. I’ve been Paleo for over 2 years now, but sometimes I found myself just focusing on the foods I couldn’t eat and thinking that was enough. Now I want to focus on filling my body with the best possible ingredients every single day. There is always room for improvement. 

On another note, if you spend the money to eat a high-quality, nutrient dense diet, you won’t have to pay for medical bills later. The few extra dollars on grass-fed beef versus conventional meat is worth the difference in nutrients. And for me, I don’t like to support the conventional meat industry anyways! If we all support farmers who farm their animals with care, we will make a huge difference. Your purchase matters!

The great thing about this recipe is it has carbs from the sweet potatoes and spinach. Then it also has protein and healthy fats from the ground meat and the eggs. I use ground turkey lately, because I haven’t been “feeling” beef, but you can use either. I also buy my eggs from the Farmer’s Market (90% of the time), or I buy the highest quality I can find at Whole Foods. Sweet potatoes are inexpensive and extremely healthy! I find that women (and some men too) need to remember to get carbs in different ways, like sweet potatoes and fruit.

How to Study for Step 1

I must have googled “How to study for Step 1” hundreds of times during my second year of medical school. The test was daunting to me, and all I wanted was to do well enough to have a chance at a competitive specialty, like Dermatology. My goal was to get above a 250 on Step…

    I love your recipes but I find I don’t make as many as I’d like to because you don’t post the nutritional value. I watch what I eat very closely, measuring everything, and I need to know the ratio of fat to carb to protein.

      I’m sorry Noelle! If you use a program like Myfitnesspal you can calculate this per recipe! In the future I may start providing this.

        i can appreciate the comment but i thought that with the Paleo lifestyle we don´t worry about counting calories or ratios…..

          Hey Claudia! Not all of my readers are completely Paleo eaters and also some people may still count calories/macros for other reasons (such as fitness competing, or specific training).

    Heard about you on the Balanced Bites podcast this morning! Awesome website.

    A dozen eggs seems like too much for me — I understand that it is for multiple meals, but still seems like a lot with the ratio to the other recipes. Think it would still work with ~6 eggs?

      Thanks! It would definitely work with 6!

    This looks fantastic. What seasoning might you suggest? Cinnamon and cumin maybe? Garlic powder might be another option, but I do like sweet in the morning. Let me know. Thanks!

      I like salt and pepper because I’m not big on sweet in the morning. Cinnamon is delicious on sweet potatoes though.

    Hey,
    Silly question but how long do you think this would last refrigerated or can I freeze it?

      Yes! If you reheat them in the oven they should come out good.

    I think this sounds wonderful, except for the fact that I despise sweet potatoes! I am going to try it for dinner tonight and use green tomatoes and mushrooms instead! Thank you for the recipe and the inspiration.

    Hmm… I forgot to buy sweet potato – bad boy 🙂 – but I still went ahead and prepared this recipe. It wasn’t bad, but I definitely needed something more…. I’m looking forward to trying next time with sweet potato.
    Oh, by the way… I just added some hot sauce to it and still absolutely loved it 🙂
