I know I’m not the only one who feels the egg burnout after one too many mornings with one too many eggs. I also run into the issue of how much I hate re-heated eggs. So, when I decide I want to meal prep breakfast, usually eggs are out. My answer to that will always be breakfast skillets.

I always fall back on this Whole30 egg free sausage breakfast skillet in particular. The dried cranberry and dill flavors are so delicious together, and it’s a simple 30 minute meal. It’s by far the best Whole30 breakfast recipe to meal prep too! If you’re looking to replicate this recipe you can head to Target or Walmart to grab what you need (click for my Whole30 Grocery Guides!). You can also order online with Amazon or at a discount with Thrive Market.
First, heat your oil in your skillet then toss all of your ingredients into your skillet starting with your potatoes, spices, and sausage. Cook until your sausage browns and your potatoes soften. Add in your onion, green pepper, and mushrooms then after awhile your spinach and cranberries! How delicious does that sound?

Double the recipe and meal prep it for some good ol’ paleo egg free breakfasts for the next few days. You’ll be glad you did. Every time I make this, I end up running out before I planned. I find myself looking forward to coming home to this in the fridge. Yes. It’s that good.
This Whole30 egg free sausage breakfast skillet with cranberries really is my favorite. I swear, it’s even better reheated the next day too. This recipe is hearty, filling and the cranberries add a sweetness that’s not too overpowering in the morning. The potatoes add some extra umph to the breakfast and are great for fueling my early workouts or busy mornings.
Skillets are also awesome because you can easily adapt them by using whatever ingredients you have on hand or that you need to use up. Pretty much anything you throw in a skillet ends up tasting good together. They’re basically like a clean out the fridge kind of breakfast! Plus, you can always add an egg on right before you’re ready to eat!
This Paleo egg free breakfast is one of my favorites not only because of the cranberries, but because of the dill. I know that might sound like an odd combo, but trust me. But I guess if you’re not into dill as much as I am (but you have to try this combo first!) it would be okay to omit it and swap it out for either more thyme or a different herb of your choice.

This is such a great recipe. I come back to it time and again when I’m trying to do a modified Whole 30 and need a break from eggs. I make enough for 3 breakfasts and look forward to it those mornings!

Vickie Laubner says
How much cholesterol is in this recipe per serving? I’m eliminating eggs but have to be really careful of the cholesterol count.
paleobailey says
Hello! It would really depend on the brand/type of sausage you decided to use, being that’s about the only thing cholesterol would come from here. I’d just take a peek at the nutrition labels prior to buying one at the store.
Kris G says
This was so very yummy! Nice to have some non-egg options. I used golden raisins instead of the cranberries because I couldn’t find them and didn’t want to wait to order them online.
