My Keto Breakfast Casserole with Sausage is such a popular breakfast in our house. Tons of yummy flavor and protein to start your day! It is an ideal make ahead breakfast recipe since it reheats beautifully!
Keto Breakfast Casserole with Sausage
My family loves my Keto/Low Carb Sausage Ball Puffs, but sometimes I don’t want to take the time to scoop out every single one and bake them in batches. When my time is short, I can make this Keto/Low Carb Sausage Breakfast Casserole instead. It is basically the same recipe except I subbed out the cheddar cheese for Monterrey Jack cheese since that is what I had on hand today.
My hubby and big kids love spicy foods, so I made it with hot sausage. I’m pretty much a wimp when it comes to hot stuff, but the hot sausage was pretty mild. This Keto breakfast casserole warms up nicely in an air fryer or wrapped in aluminum foil in the oven.

I’m a little bit of a leftover snob as I want my food to taste as close as possible to fresh out of the oven so I rarely warm up foods like this in the microwave. However, my family enjoys this recipe so much; I’ll probably have to make two casseroles to have enough to last for a couple of days.
Serving Keto Breakfast Casserole
While I love just this as a great stand-alone meal, some prefer a little something extra to go alongside this for breakfast. In that case, you can easily whip up a batch of our keto biscuit recipe. Just slice them in half, toast, and add a portion of this keto breakfast casserole to create a delicious and easy breakfast sandwich!

Omgosh 😃 I’m working nites n will be stopping in my way home to get what I need to make this looks yummy 😋
I use block cheese and hand shred because shredded cheese in a bag contains potatoe starch which is not keto friendly. Interested fact I found out. Will definitely make this
Yes, I usually do as well. However, when I am in a rush I will use shredded and haven’t had any problem with it stalling me.
Hi,
Can I substitute almond flour for the coconut flour? I really can’t stand coconut flavor. Thanks.
Tom
Yes, but you will need 4x as much.
How big is a serving?
I just cut the pan into 12 equal sized servings.
Do you have the macros for this? I
Made it and it’s delicious but just started Keto and tracking and keeping a close eye on all macros! Thank you!
Megan
SOrry about that. I had to do some updates on the back end of my blog. That info is in the recipe box at the bottom. Thanks!
Carbs per serving please?
The nutritional information is included at the very bottom of the recipe box in the post.
Could almond flour be subbed?
Yes, but it is not a 1:1 substitution. It is more like 1/4 cup coconut flour to 1 cup almond flour.
Do you think the eggs could be doubled to make this a little fluffier? Also, can it be put together the night before and then thrown in the oven in the AM? Thanks!
I have no idea I have never tried it that way. I would think it would taste pretty eggy. Yes, you can put it together the night before and bake the next day. The cook time will be a little longer.
How long after being cooked will it be ok in the refrig for reheating?
I don’t eat leftovers after 3 days.
Is 4 eggs correct? I made it with 12, not realizing the error. It was good. Definitely tasted the coconut flour. Baked it about 5 mins longer
Yes, 4 eggs are correct. If you are particularly sensitive to the taste of coconut you can sub almond flour but you’ll need 4x as much.
does this recipe freeze well? I was thinking of cutting it into portions first…sort of a grab and go to work!
I haven’t tried freezing it, but I would think it would be fine.
Made this with just over a cup of almond flour instead of coconut and took it to church. It was a hit — thanks!
I just popped this in the oven. I was about to make the puffs but saw this. Way easier lol than spooning out puffs. I’m so lazy 😂
Hahaha! I understand.
Hi, I’m new to keto starting next week. This is my breakfast dish for the week. I’m preparing this for 3 people so it says it makes 12 servings so u only eat 1 square for breakfast right? Are you still hungry after? Can I add avocado and lettuce to make it more filling?
It is up to you how much you eat. I just provide the nutritional info per square so each person can determine their own serving size. I only eat breakfast one day a week on Saturday mornings personally. I would just eat one square with a slice or two of bacon.
Made this with almond flour and added onions and bacon (personal preference) super yummy.
Awesome! Glad you loved it.

Hi! I have made this several times and love it! I was wondering what you thought of substituting the shredded cheese for cream cheese instead. Do you think that would turn out well or would it not cool right and ruin the casserole?
Thanks for sharing this recipe! The macros listed on the bottom of the recipe seem super low for the entire recipe! As you mentioned, you cut the casserole into 12 pieces. So for each price, is it a 12th of the macros listed?
The nutritional information listed is per serving based on 12 servings.
My husband won’t eat egg yolks. Would this be okay with just egg whites? Did I need to use 8 egg whites in place of the 4 whole eggs?
TIA.
The eggs help make the bread in the casserole so I’m not sure it would work without the egg yolks. You need those for moisture. This is not an egg casserole. It is my sausage ball puffs in a casserole.
As I started assembling this, I realized I didn’t have any sour cream so I substituted 2 tbsp of cream cheese instead and added some heavy cream. It was delish!!!! The whole fam enjoyed this!
Tastes exactly like McDonald’s sausage McMuffin without the bullshit ingredients and the fake American cheese. It was delicious and addicting!
Great! So glad you loved it!
