This recipe for egg casserole with sweet potatoes, butternut squash and sausage is Whole30-compliant and Paleo but even if those words don’t mean much to you, I promise you’ll find it delicious!
Egg Casserole with Sweet Potato, Butternut Squash and Sausage
I made this casserole to bring to a potluck brunch but I’ve been reheating the leftovers all week for easy breakfasts and lunches. It’s a great make-ahead recipe that can be reheated and ready in under 90 seconds. Perfect for those of you with busy morning schedules or needing a breakfast to take to work with you.
The first step for the prep is to roast the sweet potatoes, butternut squash and onions.
This increases the deliciousness factor by about 1,000%! The onions get caramelized and so sweet while the sweet potatoes and squash get browned and tender.
While the potatoes, squash and onions are roasting, you cook the sausage on the stovetop. I used traditional pork breakfast sausage but you could also use a chicken or turkey sausage and I’m sure that other flavor variations would be good too. The key is just to make sure the sausage doesn’t have sugar added if you’re doing the Whole30/Paleo thing.
Here’s the finished product with the eggs and some fresh spinach sprinkled on top. You could also substitute kale here.
And like I said, Whole30/Paleo or not, this is a great recipe! I’ve been eating it alongside avocado sourdough toast with fresh fruit. I’m savoring all the sourdough I can before staring my second Whole30 next week.

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
