This recipe is a Paleo inspired recipe i just added cheese and my daughter Alexis went bananas over it so did I. I understand that dairy is not allowed on the Paleo diet and lifestyle that's why I added the 'ish'. This recipe has a great Paleo base so forgive me but I couldn't help adding the cheese
No matter how you slice it, it taste like 'ohmahgawd' delicious
I normally prepare my 'work-week-ready' breakfast on Sundays and shop for fresh fruits and veggies on Saturdays. So. while thinking of a breakfast dish that was colorful. easy. and full of flavor I ran across this on PaleoLeap and I had all the ingredients on hand. Once this dish was completed and cooled, I tasted it and it became my breakfast and dinner dish,
This is what I used...
8 eggs
1- 1lb roll of Italian sausage
4 small (4oz - 5oz ea,) sweet potatoes peeled and diced
1 medium onion diced
1/2 red bell pepper diced
1/2 green bell pepper diced
1/2 to 1 TBSP crushed garlic (jarred) depending on your taste
1/3 cup full fat coconut milk
2TBSP flat parsley roughly chopped
2TBSP cilantro roughly chopped
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese for topping
1/2 cup fresh shredded Asiago pepper and garlic cheese
coconut oil for cooking
***garlic powder to taste
***sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
***PREHEAT OVEN to 375
-grease a 13x9 baking dish
-add some coconut oil to a medium skillet, melt over medium heat add sausage and cook crumbling the meat as it cook, when done spoon sausage into a large heatproof bowl set aside saving the drippings in the skillet
- In the same skillet add the bell peppers, onions, and garlic and cook up to 5mins. over medium heat, then add the vegetable mixture to the bowl with the sausage
- in that same skillet add more coconut oil and add the sweet potatoes, I used some sea salt to help bring out the flavor of the potatoes a pinch worked well, stir to blend in flavor then cover and cook up til 8mins. over medium heat ensuring that the potatoes don't burn but get a nice brown to chard color
- Once the potatoes are done add them to the sausage and vegetable mixture and stir to combined and pour into prepared 13x9 baking dish
- Now, in a medium to large bowl mix together using a whisk the eggs, coconut milk, parsley, cilantro, garlic powder (starting with about 1/2 tsp.), 1/4 tsp. fresh cracked pepper, whisk until combined
...now add cheeses to the egg mixture to combine well
- Pour the cheese and egg mixture over the sausage, vegetable, and potato mixture then top with the remained 1/2 cup cheese (to your desired amount) and bake for 20 mins. then place under the broiler for and color to your desired color
