My friend, Tracee, that is also on this Whole30 challenge with me, created this recipe. As is, it is super delicious. But I added some of my Best Guacamole and it is awesome! The perfect breakfast for mass crowds, a kid-pleaser, and a great post-WOD meal, this is a do-it-all recipe. It makes a lot and is just as good reheated as it is fresh out of the oven. You can use Chorizo (as indicated in the recipe) or you can use my Breakfast Sausage. Both taste very different (the Chorizo is much spicier) but they are both very good.
Ingredients
- 1 Sweet Potato shredded
- 1 small Yellow Onion
- 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil
- 1 lb Breakfast Sausage or Chorizo make sure to read the label and get one that doesn't sneak sugar in it
- 12 Eggs
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350F.
-
Lightly grease a 9x13 glass baking dish.
-
Place your shredded sweet potatoes in the bottom of the dish.
-
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until they are translucent.
-
Add the sausage to the pan with the onions and cook all the way through, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon as it browns.
-
Evenly pour the sausage mixture into the baking dish over the sweet potatoes.
-
Whisk the eggs and then evenly pour them on top of the sausage.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 15 minutes more.
-
Serve with your favorite salsa and guacamole!

Does this reheat well? Or is it something to be consumed by many in one sitting?
Kendra
Definitely reheats well. I make it and we typically eat it for the next couple of days. It’s lasted us up to 5 days before and was just as good each time.

Is it okay to cook a frittata the night before, store it in the fridge and warm it up the following morning in the oven for a few minutes??

Actually, sweet potatoes/yams are a vegetable that is encouraged on the Paleo diet! As well as chorizo! Here is a link to a lengthy grocery list on what you can eat! I think you will be pleasantly surprised! 🙂

Actually yes sweet potatoes and sausage are allowed. Not sure where you’re getting your information from.

This was really good and reheats well too! I think I may sauté some red peppers with the onions and throw in some chopped spinach. I am really enjoying your site. I am doing my first whole 30 and I am following your meal plan. Thank you so much! Having a meal plan and a shopping list has been very helpful!

I love sweet potatoes, but to mix it up. I sometimes chop up broccoli in te food processor and use that for the bottom
Jill
Do I need to pre bake the sweet potato at all?
*also I am a FL native now living in CO 🙂 I do miss my beach time, but colorado is beautiful too.
Amy
I did not pre-bake the potatoes and it came out great! I added sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil too!
Gina
Great Recipe! I added spinach and red peppers to mine as well.
Megan
