Introduction

This Paleo Breakfast Meal Prep is a simple, hearty way to start your day with wholesome ingredients. Combining perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and tender sweet potato hash, it’s ideal for busy mornings. Prepare five ready-to-go breakfasts that fuel your day with balanced nutrition.

Two black meal prep containers sit on a white marbled surface, each filled with cooked diced sweet potatoes mixed with small pieces of browned onions and bacon. On one side of each container, there are two halves of a boiled egg with bright yellow yolks visible, placed next to one whole boiled egg. The sweet potatoes have a golden orange color with some charred brown spots, while the onions are translucent and slightly browned. The eggs have smooth white shells and firm whites surrounding their vibrant yolks. The containers are arranged vertically in the image, showing the meal clearly from above. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

10 eggs
1 large sweet potato
1/2 medium red onion
5 strips of bacon
1 tbsp avocado oil
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Dice the red onion and cube the sweet potato into small, even cubes to ensure they cook thoroughly.
Step 2: Fry the bacon strips in a frying pan over medium-low heat until fully cooked and crispy. Remove the bacon but leave the grease in the pan.
Step 3: While the bacon cooks, fill a pot with cold water and bring it to a boil.
Step 4: Once boiling, gently lower the eggs into the water. Cover the pot and cook for exactly 7 minutes for slightly soft yolks.
Step 5: Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Step 6: Sauté the diced red onions in the bacon grease over medium-low heat until they become soft and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 7: Add the avocado oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add the sweet potato cubes, toss them in the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 8: Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are soft and cooked through—about 20 minutes.
Step 9: Turn off the heat, then stir the sautéed onions and crumbled bacon back into the pan with the sweet potatoes.
Step 10: Peel the eggs. Divide the sweet potato hash evenly into 5 meal prep containers and add two eggs to each.

Tips & Variations

Use different types of bacon, such as turkey or maple-flavored, to change the flavor profile.
Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the sweet potato hash for a bright, fresh taste.
For fluffier eggs, try soft boiling for 6 to 6.5 minutes instead of 7.
Swap avocado oil for coconut oil if preferred to add subtle sweetness.

Storage

Store the prepared breakfasts in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat the sweet potato hash in a microwave or on the stove over low heat. Reheat eggs gently or enjoy them cold to maintain their texture.

How to Serve

A black rectangular container holds a simple meal with two halves of a boiled egg on the left side, showing bright yellow yolks and smooth white edges. Next to the eggs, on the right side, are small chunks of roasted sweet potato with a golden-orange color, some pieces slightly charred, mixed with browned bits of onion and crispy bacon. A woman's hand is holding the container on the left edge, and the whole scene rests on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, regular white or red potatoes can be used, but cooking times may vary slightly since sweet potatoes tend to soften faster.

How can I tell if my eggs are cooked perfectly?

After 7 minutes of boiling, the yolks will be slightly soft but mostly set, perfect for this dish. Using a timer and immediately placing eggs in an ice bath helps achieve consistent results.
