To start, you’ll gather your ingredients. I call for sausage, egg, cheese, and spinach in this version, but feel free to vary the ingredients to suit your taste. If you are starting with fresh sausage, brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat, until it’s cooked through. If you are started with already cooked protein, you can skip this step! Next, you’ll spoon the meat into your casserole dish, and layer your cooked veggie mix right on top. For this recipe, I used some thawed frozen spinach and a bit of red bell pepper. Toss some mushrooms in there if you have some in the fridge!

Then, you’ll make the egg mixture. Add heavy cream and a cup of shredded cheese. Then, you’ll add some salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Tip: Before you go crazy with the salt, taste a bit of the cooked sausage. After that, pour the egg mixture into the casserole dish, give it all a quick stir, and bake until the eggs are set and the edges are starting to brown. Tip: If you find that your casserole is browning too quickly, cover the dish with aluminum foil. Want my recommendation for the best breakfast meat options?

Their sausage is a customer favorite and perfect for any breakfast recipe you can dream up — including this keto breakfast casserole! That said, one of the best things about this recipe is that it is super customizable. I chose sausage and veggies for this particular dish, but if you’re a vegetarian, you can replace the sausage with tofu crumbles or more veggies. Or, if you don’t want to use sausage, use another kind of meat.

Keto Breakfast Casserole is a great vehicle for leftovers, too. You can adapt this recipe to fit whatever meat and veggie ingredients you may have in your fridge. Here are some variations on keto breakfast casserole that you may want to try. Another tip: start with fully cooked meat. This is especially helpful if you’re using something like leftover ground beef or even something like a shredded rotisserie chicken. You can freeze unbaked casserole up to 2 months. Cover very tightly with plastic wrap and foil.
