It's amazing how just a handful of ingredients can come together to create rich flavors and a satisfying texture. Knowing it’s low-carb makes it all the better, and I appreciate that it reheats well for busy mornings throughout the week.

Understanding the Ingredients

The combination of breakfast sausage, eggs, and cheese forms the backbone of this Keto Sausage and Egg Breakfast Bake. The sausage not only adds a rich, savory flavor but also provides a juicy texture that enhances each bite. While I prefer the classic pork sausage for its flavor, you can opt for turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner alternative without sacrificing taste.

Eggs play a crucial role in binding the bake together while contributing to its fluffy texture. For this recipe, I recommend using large eggs; their yolks provide a deeper color and richer flavor. Heavy cream adds creaminess and helps achieve a custard-like consistency when baked. If you're looking for a dairy-free version, coconut milk or almond milk can be used as a substitute, though they will slightly alter the flavor.

Baking Technique Tips

To ensure even cooking, it’s important to crumble the sausage finely. Large chunks may not cook through properly and can lead to uneven texture in the final bake. Additionally, allowing the baked dish to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven is key; this helps the eggs firm up slightly, making it easier to slice into neat squares without falling apart.

Pay close attention to the baking time; while 30 minutes is standard, ovens can vary. The dish is done when the edges are golden brown and the center is set—check with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. If you notice the edges browning too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil for the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Ingredients

Ingredients for Keto Sausage And Egg Breakfast Bake

1 pound of breakfast sausage
8 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Drain any excess grease.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Assemble the Bake

Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage, then sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Serve

Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Pro Tips

Feel free to add your favorite low-carb vegetables, such as bell peppers or spinach, for added flavor and nutrition. This dish can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Make-Ahead and Storage

This dish is a fantastic candidate for meal prep. You can assemble the entire bake the night before, cover it, and store it in the refrigerator. This helps the flavors meld and can save you significant time in the morning. Just pop it in the oven while you get ready, and you'll have a hot, delicious breakfast waiting for you.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To reheat, simply place a slice in the microwave for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for a crispier texture.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

Feel free to customize this bake with your favorite vegetables! Spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms can be added in during the layering process for added nutrition and flavor. Just be sure to sauté them first to release some moisture, as excess liquid can make the bake soggy.

For a more indulgent twist, consider adding spices like smoked paprika or even a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. Serve the finished bake with avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess and flavor contrast, enhancing the overall dish while keeping it keto-friendly.
