Cavegirl's Breakfast Kickasserole! (paleo breakfast casserole)

Cavegirl's Breakfast Kickasserole! (paleo breakfast casserole)My “Cavegirl’s Kickasserole” dish was my Best.Present.Ever.!! (thanks mom!) This had to be one of my favorite gifts this year, but I had to admit that the name alone put great pressure on figuring out what to cook in it!

I finally decided to do a Paleo Breakfast Casserole. I have made one before but I added organic heavy cream. Because of some dietary restrictions,  I really wanted to play around with coconut milk. The problem with coconut milk in my house is that my youngest daughter hates the taste and can detect it immediately, so I have to be really cautious to season things just right to mask the flavor. (She never even knew with this one…SCORE!).

Instead of adding coconut milk to my eggs and calling it a day, I also blended in an avocado and spices to add more creaminess and depth of flavor…I hope you enjoy this recipe!
