Equipment
- Skillet
- Oven
- Casserole Dish
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage choose a sugar-free variety for keto
- 3 cups Broccoli florets optional, but great for adding healthy greens!
- 6 cloves Garlic minced
- 12 large Eggs at room temperature for extra fluffiness
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream or use almond milk for a lighter, dairy-free option
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese divided (skip for dairy-free or Whole30)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it smells wonderfully fragrant.
- Toss in the breakfast sausage and cook for about 10 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until it's nicely browned.
- While the sausage cooks, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If you're using broccoli, quickly blanch it in boiling water for 5-7 minutes until it's crisp-tender. Then, dunk it in an ice bath to stop cooking, drain well, and pat dry.
- In a big mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread the cooked sausage (and any pre-cooked veggies like broccoli) evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the creamy egg mixture over the sausage and veggies. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cheddar cheese generously on top.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
