- Mushrooms

- Kale
- Sweet potatoes
- White/red potatoes
- Hashbrowns
- Leeks
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Onions
- Bell peppers
- Jalapenos
- Poblano peppers
- Black beans
- Sausage
- Bacon
As you can see, the options are truly endless. So start with this recipe and adjust to your own liking.
Is this egg bake Whole30? Paleo?
This simple twist sweet potato egg bake has whole foods as ingredients. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, paleo, etc.
It basically checks the majority of the lifestyles and diets out there.
You should never feel like you’re doing something wrong if you’re eating whole foods that make you feel good.
If it doesn’t fit your lifestyle due to allergies or whatever, just customize it!
Every recipe I have is customizable and can be individualized, always. This is something I will teach you how to do during my personalized nutrition coaching.
However, the list above is a great starter. Swap out the foods you don’t like or what doesn’t work for you for ones that do.
Meal Prep Egg Bake Ideas
I made this in a 9×13 casserole dish and left it at that.
I cut out a portion and had that throughout the week but another option you can play with for meal prep breakfasts are meal prep egg muffins.
Another option is to allow the breakfast casserole completely cool, divide it up and portion it out into separate containers for the days you need them. Store them in the fridge and simply grab, heat, and go.
How to turn this paleo egg casserole into muffin cups
Grease a muffin tin (or line it with these awesome liners) and portion out the ingredients. Bake for 20ish minutes, but check with a fork if they’re done or need a little more time.
Heads up: This recipe will probably make more than 12 if done in a muffin tin.
Here are a few more easy breakfasts for meal prep and meal planning.

Healthy Egg Casserole with Sweet Potatoes, Kale, and Peppers
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsps coconut oil
- 4 cups sweet potatoes chopped
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 1/2 green pepper
- 1 1/2 red pepper
- 3 cups kale
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a large cast-iron pan (or whatever large pan you have at home) melt the coconut oil over medium heat and add the cubed sweet potato. Fry it up until almost soft (about 5-6 minutes).
- Add the bell peppers, onions, first set of salt and pepper, plus garlic powder. Stir until onion is translucent and sweet potatoes are soft.
- Next, add the kale leaves (tear them up as you add them to the pan). Stir around another 3-4 minutes. You know it's done when the leaves are bright green, the onions are starting to brown, and the sweet potatoes are soft.
- Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with avocado oil spray (or whatever you have on hand) and spoon the sweet potato mix in.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, second batch of salt and pepper, plus 1/2 tsp of fresh thyme leaves. Pour over the vegetables.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Let cool. Serve with an optional side of toast, avocado, or salsa.
