This Keto Sausage and Egg Casserole Omelet is an easy and satisfying low carb breakfast that can be made ahead for convenience. This keto breakfast recipe is simple to prep and makes for a hearty breakfast casserole that everyone will love.
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:
- Breakfast Sausage – You can use mild or hot.
- Green Bell Pepper – Also, use red and orange for different flavor profiles.
- Onion – Onions give any dish more flavor and texture/
- Eggs – Mixed to make the thickness once baked.
- Heavy Whipping Cream – Gives it a bit of richness and adds fat to keep you full.
- Worcestershire sauce – Optional.
- Mustard – Adds additional flavor and pairs perfectly with sausage.
- Cheese – You can never have too much cheese. You can swap out different varieties if you prefer.
- Seasonings– Use as directed and then taste test.
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 X 13 casserole dish. In a skillet, brown sausage until it is halfway done, then add the chopped green bell pepper and chopped onion. Next, drain the excess grease.
Step 2: Add the sausage and veggie mixture to the casserole dish.
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.
Step 5: Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top, then pop the casserole dish then bake in the oven for 20 to 23 minutes. Enjoy!
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.

I believe there’s a typo in the amount of heavy cream, I only used 3/4 of a cup. Also, it seems that the baking time needs to be a little longer. I had to bake it 10 minutes longer than the recipe said (my oven temp is accurate). I’ve enjoyed several of your recipes, they are yummy!
Kasey says
Ahhh….yes. That has been corrected.
I tested this baking time in my oven 3 times, but every oven bakes differently. Also, different people prefer a different level of doneness with egg casseroles. It’s always best to adjust to your liking and oven temperature as you did.
Thanks! I’m glad you have enjoyed the recipes you’ve prepared.
April says
Made this this evening to have for breakfast this week. I was out of peppers and onion but had green onion so substituted that. I had to try a bite tonight and this recipe is delicious. By far my favorite Keto quiche. Thank you!!
Kasey says
Glad you enjoyed, April!!
Susan Smith says

Wow! So glad you enjoyed it!
rescue.mom says
I am not so great in the kitchen..also don’t have a large budget for food..(its expensive to eat healthy)..I would love to find a simple easy to follow meal plan (easy to follow shopping lists, easy to make recipes)
I don’t mind repetitive eating..at all.
I would love to find a few recipes that I could make ahead of time and eat for a few days..that would be wonderful!
I’m not a big fan of red meat..
I can tolerate turkey bacon, ground turkey and chicken…and maybe some fish.
I am disabled and live on disability and do not have the extra money to pay for a meal plan..but I do need to lose 30lbs.
I am a member of a local gym.
Any suggestions for online resources that might be helpful to me?
Kasey says
Here is a link to 40 previous meal plans that are all free that you can pick and choose what sounds good to you. There is no shopping list as it’s just not something I have time to do each week and many people already have basics in their pantry. You may be able to find some things on Pinterest too.

Sally Oberg says
Can you freeze ahead ot time and then just put in oven or beat to make one day ahaed?
Kasey says
I’m not sure as I’ve only made it as is. I would think you could.
Ginette Albert says
Just made the blueberries bread it’s baking and smell so good .Can I used icing sugar instead for the glazed
Kasey says
It will be grainy as it won’t dissolve. You can put the granular in a blender or magic bullet and turn it into powdered.
Veronica Garcia says
What kind of breakfast sausage do you use?
Kasey says
Any breakfast sausage will work that is sold at your local grocery store.
Marian says
Loved This, thank you

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! You are so very welcome.
Tati B says
Just made this as a breakfast meal prep, trying to get into the keto diet, wow the only negative thing I have to say is I wish the portion size was bigger so I could eat more, so simple to make and so yummy. Thank you for the great recipe
Kasey says
Glad you enjoyed!!
Sue says
Delicious! Perfect brunch entree!
Mary Trenum says
Awesome!!!!
Lisa says
Can you can this night before
.Kasey says
I haven’t tried. It might work but the sausage and veggies might sink to the bottom overnight. I’d stir before baking.
Wendy says
What type of sausage do you use? All of them I find have sugar in the ingredients list.
Kasey says
I usually buy the one with the lowest carbs but I can’t remember the brand. If there is any sugar, it’s minimal so I don’t worry about it.
Gail says
I made this and loved it. I swapted the pepper and onion amounts around for me. It was so easy and was easy to heat the flowing day. I cut them into squares 8.
Kasey says
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed it!
Jackie Esparza says
So in each of these 12 servings is 312 calories?
.Kasey says
Yes, but with Keto you are watching the carbs, not calories.
Paula says
Is it dry mustard or regular mustard?
.Kasey says
Dry mustard
Eva Baumgartner says
Ooops I used regular mustard 😉
Kasey says
I’m so sorry. It should have said regular mustard. You were correct to use regular mustard.
Anita Wilt says
I subbed no sugar added oatmilk for the cream and used manchego cheese–all to get this recipe to be cow dairy free. Also subbed mushrooms for the peppers. It was delicious!
.Kasey says
Glad you thought this recipe was delicious!
Danielle Heverly says
Love it!!!

Delicious! My husband and I enjoyed this casserole which is perfect for our keto diet! Looking forward to the leftovers.
Kasey says
Fantastic! Glad you both enjoyed it.
Sarah says
I’ve made this a bunch and absolutely love it!!!! I am wondering if a person could substitute bacon for the sausage though. Thoughts?
Kasey says
Glad you enjoyed it. Sure, you can sub bacon instead.
Tanya says
This is so good. I had some left over green chillies, so I swapped that for the peppers and it’s perfect. I made it for my husband to take for lunch tomorrow, but I ate a whole piece right away and I’m not doing Keto. I’m excited to look at your other recipes. Thank you!
Kasey says
Sounds delish! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Becky Dellinger says
What is the serving size for the nutrition information listed?
Kasey says
The number of servings is listed at the top of the recipe card. I divide it evenly by that number for the nutritional info.
Sherry says
I cooked exactly as directed with the exception of omitting the green peppers (only because I don’t like them). I was a little heavy handed with the nutmeg… it was more than a dash… but that was completely my fault and it was still delicious!
Kasey says
Fantastic! So glad you loved it!
