Nothing wrong with the classic keto breakfast of bacon and scrambled eggs, right?

But if you're like me, you don't have time to stand around the stove every morning and fry eggs for my whole family like a little cook! I need something easy to make - and mostly hands free. That's why I love this Sausage, Eggs and Cheese Keto Breakfast Casserole.

This recipe is just right for a lazy Saturday morning when you can serve it to a group of brunch guests. But it's just as perfect for Sunday afternoon meal prep and having a ready-to-eat breakfast ready for breakfast all week long.

But don't limit it to breakfast! It's great to have as a savory snack or 'breakfast before dinner'.

How to make the Keto Breakfast Casserole

To get started, gather your materials. call forworse, ei, kaas, and spinach in this version, but feel free to vary the ingredients to suit your taste.

If you start with fresh sausage, fry the meat in a pan over medium heat until cooked. If you start with already cooked egg whites, you can skip this step!

Then you pour the meat into your pot and top with the cooked vegetable mixture. For this recipe I used some frozen spinach and some red pepper. Again, use whatever you want. Throw in some mushrooms if you have them in the fridge!

Then you make the egg mixture. Crack a dozen eggs (yes, a dozen!) into a large mixing bowl. Add the whipped cream and a cup of grated cheese. Then add some salt, pepper and some garlic powder.

Suggestion:Before you go crazy with the salt, try some of the cooked sausage. I found that the sausage I used was already quite salty, so I only added 1/2 teaspoon more salt. You will have to make this judgment depending on the type of sausage/protein you want to use.

Then pour the egg mixture into the pan, give everything a quick stir and cook until the eggs are set and the edges start to brown. This is!

Suggestion:If you find that your pan is browning too quickly, cover the pan with aluminum foil.

Keto Egg Casserole Ingredients

There are five main ingredients in this healthy breakfast casserole: eggs, cream, meat, vegetables and cheese. In this version, I've called for a savory combination of fresh breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese, and spinach.

Start your morning off right with 2 packs of bacon and 2kg of sausage absolutely free in your first ButcherBox!

I want my recommendation for itthe best breakfast meatchoices; ButcherBox bacon and sausage is some of the tastiest you'll ever have - it's keto-approved, nitrate-free, withno added sugar. Their sausage is a customer favorite and perfect for any breakfast recipe you can think of - including this keto breakfast casserole!

That being said, one of the best things about this recipe is that it is extremely customizable. I chose sausage and vegetables for this particular dish, but if you're vegetarian, you can replace the sausage with tofu crumbles or more vegetables.

Or, if you don't want to use sausage, use a different type of meat. Do it! This is your breakfast.

Keto Breakfast Casserole is also a great vehicle for leftovers. You can adapt this recipe to whatever meat and vegetables you have in your fridge. Here are somevariations on the keto breakfast dishthat you might want to try.

• Instead of brown sausage, try roast chicken, crispy bacon or diced ham
• Instead of spinach, try leftover kale, steamed broccoli or Swiss chard
• instead of cheddar, try Swiss or Gouda
• If you don't mind a few extra carbs, and fresh diced tomatoes and peppers

Another tip: Start with fully cooked meat. This is especially helpful if you're using something like leftover ground beef or even something like shredded roast chicken.
