Keto Breakfast Casserole with Sausage
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!

I have never cooked or eaten much sausage in my life, so sorry for the newby question, but how/where do you buy the sausage? Do you buy it in links and break them up, or do you buy it raw/ground somewhere?
In the meat section of your grocery. It will be in the same section with hot dogs, sausage, bacon, etc. Use the breakfast sausage logs for this recipe.
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!
Can you prepare this the night before and bake in the morning?
I’m only made it in the morning, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
New to all of this but this is a great breakfast; 12 pieces will last us 3 days at least. I would imagine that baking and freezing half will not ruin anything about it. Going to try that next time.
But I do have a question? What is the perfect Keto coffee? Why is it called that? Does it give more energy? I am a coffee nut so this is a need to know.
Thanks, great job on all of your work here by the way.
I assume you are talking about bulletproof coffee. It is a way to get additional fats into your diet as well as keeps me filling full without having to eat a lot of carbs, calories, or proteins.
I used Cajun seasoning instead of salt and pepper jack cheese as that was what I had. Smells delish!!!
Awesome!
I love this recipe! I have tried it both with breakfast sausage and bacon. As well, I have used both coconut flour and a blend of almond/coconut flour; both options are very good. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic! So glad you loved it.
I was wondering if you could cook this in Muffin Tins?? Were traveling and I am looking for convenient things ti take wirh us.
I don’t see any reason why you can’t.
0 MY! I am eating this right now and it is scrumptious! The only changes I made is that I had taken browned sausage and diced ham out of the freezer so I used a combination. This will be on my table often! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you use Almond flour and if so what would the measurement be? Thank you!
Yes, you can but it is not a 1:1 conversion. You need 4x as much as the coconut flour measurement.
This is a wonderful recipe that I made for Christmas brunch. I added a little left over brocolli and red bell pepper but otherwise followed the recipe. Delicious.
Glad you enjoyed it! Great idea about the red pepper. Would love it if you could rate the recipe! Thanks so much.
Does this freeze well?
Yes, it does freeze well.
I was going to mention that I was going to try them in a muffin pan. I might even try a couple in my air fryer, I just got my silicone liners, both regular and mini.
Those are all fantastic ideas.
