Keto Breakfast with Veggies

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 1 lb Breakfast sausage option: 1/2 lbs sausage and 4-6 pieces of cooked bacon, chopped
  • 3 cup Broccoli florets option: 3 cups spinach cooked down
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 12 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream option: half & half
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In an oiled skillet over medium-high heat, cook the minced garlic for about one minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the breakfast sausage. Cook for about 10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • If using broccoli (or other veggies), blanch them in boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, until crisp tender. Then plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking, drain and pat dry.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, half of the cheddar cheese, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
  • Grease the bottom of a glass or ceramic 9×13 inch (22×33 cm) casserole dish (I use this one), or 9×9 dish without the broccoli. Arrange the crumbled sausage evenly at the bottom of the casserole dish. (If you want to add any broccoli or pre-cooked vegetables to your casserole, mix them with the sausage at this step.)
  • Pour the egg mixture over the sausage. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes, until the eggs are set and cheese is melted.
