Recipe of the Day - Paleo Egg Breakfast Squares

Paleo Egg Breakfast Squares


You can make these egg squares ahead of time then reheat in the morning for a quick meal at home or on the go. All you need is a pound of (ideally organic pasture-raised) pork breakfast sausage and a dozen eggs. With just those ingredients and a little oil, salt and pepper you’ve got breakfast – double it and you have enough for a few days.  Adam and I also add onions, green peppers and red peppers....but really, you can add any extras that you want!

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground pork breakfast sausage (pasture-raised, organic if possible)
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • Sea Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Onions/Red or Green Peppers or other veggies (optional)
  • Parchment Paper

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Crumble and brown the pork sausage in a frying pan or cast iron skillet.
  3. In a medium/large bowl mix one dozen large eggs with a whisk or fork and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Line a pan with parchment paper to prevent the egg from sticking to the pan.  
  5. Add your cooked sausage (and onions/green/red peppers or any other ingredients you desire) to the eggs in the bowl.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the pan.
  7. Cook for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  8. Cut and store in the fridge.
  9. Whenever you need breakfast or a quick meal, grab a square and microwave/nuke it for 30-60 seconds.  Sometimes I also add some salsa on top....YUM!
