Blueberry Sweet Potato breakfast casserole - Paleo, Whole30

When I am doing Whole30, I get tired of eating eggs! Who doesn't? Believe it or not, this is what I eat when I am tried of eggs. Even though it has eggs in it, it doesn't taste like an egg dish to me.

Cooking Equipment

12-inch cast iron skillet, seasoned

Ingredients

up to 1/4 cup ghee (if you're not on whole30 you can use butter)

2-3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and dices in half inch cubes

1/2 tsp salt

1 apple, diced

5 large eggs

1 cup canned coconut milk 

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds

1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On your stove top, heat half the ghee in the skillet add your sweet potatoes and sprinkle with salt. Cook sweet potatoes until they are almost soft, 7-8 minutes and then add the apple. Cook for 3-4 minutes minutes until the sweet potatoes and the apples are soft. While cooking your apples, warm the coconut milk in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to partially melt it. Beat your eggs slightly with coconut milk. There will be some clumps of coconut milk in the eggs, this is fine as it will melt more when you pour it in the skillet.

Sprinkle nuts and blueberries over the sweet potatoes and then pour the egg mixture. Stir to incorporate with the sweet potatoes. Any clumps of coconut milk should melt, take care to mix it in with the eggs.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the eggs are done, 15-20 minutes.

Make the starbucks sous vide egg bites without a mold!

I kept seeing people rave about these egg bites in the Instant Pot and I wanted to try them but I was reluctant to buy a special mold to make something I had never tried before. So I set out to make them in my 7in Fat Daddio pan that I bought for PIP recipes.

Since the "bite" is more like a loaf, I had to tinker a little bit with the cooking time. My first experiment looked like this.....hardly a success!

However, after I flipped it back into the pan and cooked it the rest of the way in my oven it was also delicious. The eggs were velvety smooth.

This one looks better right? Here is how you can do it yourself. This was made in a 7in pan, if you use a different size pan it might impact your cook time a little bit.

This recipe was based off of the recipe from foodie and wine that uses the silicone molds.

Ingredients:

5 Large Eggs
4oz of cooked crumbled bacon or I like to use pancetta because it comes already in cubes
1 ½ cups of cheese
4oz cream cheese
¼ cup heavy cream
Salt to taste*

*Note I did not use any additional salt because I was already using pancetta it's quite salty.

Directions: Cook the meat and if you are using bacon, crumble it. Put the eggs, cream cheese, shredded cheese, cream and salt into a blender and blend until fully mixed, about 45 seconds.

I use my Epica smoothie blender and it works great.

Breakfast smoothie anyone?

Put your pancetta in the bottom into a a lightly greased 7in pan and pour the blended egg mixture on top.

Cover the pan with foil. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of your Instant pot and using your trivet, lower the pan into the pot. The pan will be on top of the trivet.

Set your IP to steam for 14 minutes. Quick release the steam. You can cut slices and eat it from the pan, or you can flip it out on to a plate. It easily releases from my Fat Daddio pan. Full-sized bite!
