HOW TO MAKE KETO SAUSAGE AND EGG CASSEROLE
I love an easy breakfast casserole I can make ahead at the beginning of the week that covers several days for us. Having breakfast already prepared makes mornings so much easier plus, there is little mess to clean, which is always a plus. All I have to do is pop a serving in the microwave, and breakfast for my kids is made.
As a homeschool momma, I’d rather spend less time at breakfast and finish our day a few minutes earlier in the afternoon. My hubby can grab a serving to enjoy before he leaves for work in the morning.

Ingredients:

- Eggs – Mixed to make the thickness once baked.
- Heavy Whipping Cream – Gives it a bit of richness and adds fat to keep you full.

Step 3: In a bowl, combine all other ingredients reserving 1/4 cup of the cheese to sprinkle on top.
Step 4: Pour the egg mixture on top of the sausage and veggies, then use a spoon to stir a little in the casserole dish to combine all of the ingredients.

Garnish with fresh chives or parsley.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
I always use freshly grated cheese to avoid additives that are included in preshredded. I think the freshly shredded takes so much better.
I pour the drained sausage in a 9 X 13 casserole dish. If you had rather, you could mix it up with all the other ingredients then pour it in the casserole dish.
This Low Carb Sausage & Egg Casserole Omelet is the perfect breakfast with only two net carbs per serving.
CAN YOU MAKE THIS SAUSAGE AND EGG CASSEROLE THE NIGHT BEFORE?
Absolutely. This is one of the best parts about this keto breakfast. It’s easy enough to whip up and have waiting in the fridge to bake in the morning. Meal prepping this simple egg bake is a great way to save time on hectic mornings.
HOW DO YOU STORE LEFTOVERS OF THIS SAUSAGE, EGG & CHEESE CASSEROLE?
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Any longer than that and you might want to think about freezing it to enjoy another time. I typically freeze in single servings wrapped in plastic wrap; then, I put all of them in a freezer-safe container or zip lock baggy. When you’re ready to eat the leftovers, just pop in the microwave for a few short seconds and enjoy.

Hi, I wanted to make this last minute , but dont have any heavy cream. Can you substitute 2% milk for the cream? Thank you!

I’ve never personally tried it, so I can’t say it would work or not.
