Sausage and Vegetable Egg Bake

This will be breakfast for the next bunch of mornings:
Peel and dice a medium sweet potato.
Cut a head of broccoli into florets.
Bring a some water to a boil, drop the sweet potato and broccoli in, keep at a simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop an onion and a medium zucchini or yellow squash.  Saute in olive oil, when the onions are translucent, add some sausage (mine was ~3/4 lb).  I didn't add any spices, since the sausage was pre-spiced Italian-style.
Heat the oven to 350.
Drain the sweet potato and broccoli, add all the ingredients to a greased 8x8 glass pan. Beat together ~8-10 eggs or equivalent in whites.  (I think I used 7 whole eggs and 5 egg whites*.)  Pour over the other ingredients and stir a little bit.

Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes, until it is all set up.
Somehow all the egg white appear to have formed up in the lower right of the pan.  Curious.  They might be plotting a take over of some sort.

Unfortunately, this did dirty a fair number of pans and bowls.  Blast.

Recipe based on one that was found years ago in Chris Carmichael's Fitness Cookbook (the cookbook in general is very, very far from paleo) and recently re-inspired by a post at the Functional Foodie blog.  And in general, it's just a not-divvied-out-into-muffin-tins version of Egg bites.

* The reasoning behind using the egg whites only for some of the eggs is to up the protein percentage a little bit, as I plan on eating some of this with avocado, so the fat all balances out in the wash anyway, and some of it post-workout, and I like more protein post-workout.
