The Master Trio- Ingredient Perfection When it came to the fillings for this breakfast casserole Matthew and I could only agree on sausage and cheese. He was insisting on broccoli while I was dead bent on bell pepper. After trying it I am SO glad we chose broccoli over bell pepper.

Either way you choose to go though, you can’t go wrong with a base of eggs, sausage and cheese! Picking the Casserole’s Ingredients Maybe you don’t like broccoli, or maybe you’re not a sausage fan.

How to Make Keto Breakfast Casserole This easy breakfast casserole requires a large skillet and a few toppings. The options are endless but we love everything from Italian sausage and cheese to crumbled bacon and cheddar. Whatever you choose just make sure those eggs are set before serving! To make this easy keto breakfast casserole you will need a large baking dish, we used an 10×6in casserole dish. You will also need a skillet or nonstick pan to cook the sausage before adding it into the casserole. Finally, you will need a mixing bowl for the egg mixture. Now for the keto friendly ingredients we used in this super easy breakfast casserole. We started with a base of ground sausage and broccoli that has been chopped into bite sized pieces. Then you will need lots of eggs (this is a keto breakfast casserole!) and shredded cheese. We chose to use shredded cheddar cheese, but any low carb cheese should work just fine in breakfast recipes like this. To the eggs we add heavy cream, coconut milk, oregano, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Finally we finish it off with some minced garlic for extra flavor. Low carb keto breakfast casserole shouldn’t just have salt, get creative and really play with the spices in your keto recipes. Making Keto Breakfast Casserole To make your keto breakfast casserole begin by removing any sausage casings and crumbling the sausage into a medium high skillet. There shouldn’t be a need for oil as sausage is normally pretty fatty, but if you find it sticking add a little butter or oil. When the sausage is close to being done add in the chopped broccoli and minced garlic cloves. Cook the meat for an additional 2-3 minutes. The broccoli should go a bright green hue, but we do not want it fully tender as it will continue baking in the oven. While everything is doing its last cook, mix the eggs, coconut milk, heavy cream, seasonings, and half of your cheese together in a bowl. When the broccoli and meat is cooked transfer it into your baking dish and spread it in an even layer. Pour the egg and heavy cream mixture over the top as evenly as possible. If some parts are too saturated you can carefully swirl the baking dish to help move the eggs around. Sprinkle your remaining cheese on top of the keto breakfast casserole and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy! We love it topped with creamy avocado and extra cheese. Storing This Easy Keto Breakfast Casserole This is the perfect keto diet breakfast because the total time for prep is minimal and it makes lots of leftovers to enjoy all week. To store this easy keto breakfast casserole in the fridge, tightly wrap the casserole dish with plastic wrap after it has cooled. It will last in the fridge for up to one week. For freezing you can either pre portion the batch in zip lock bags (so you know the per serving calories), or you can skip a serving size and just freeze the whole dish. We reccomend wrapping it a few times with plastic wrap and then a layer of foil to prevent freezer burn. To defrost simply place your easy keto breakfast casserole in the fridge 24 hours in advance.
