Easy Keto Breakfast Casserole
Start your day with this simple and satisfying keto breakfast casserole, packed with sausage, eggs, and veggies. Perfect for meal prep!
Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Large skillet
- Large Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 lb bulk Italian sausage (or breakfast sausage)
- 10 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 lb zucchini (coarsely grated)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick!)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Get your oven ready by preheating it to 350°F (175°C), and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown your Italian or breakfast sausage, breaking it up as it cooks until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat for a lighter casserole.
- In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and minced garlic until well combined. Stir in the grated zucchini – no need to squeeze out the water, it adds moisture!
- Add the coconut flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the egg mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is combined and there are no flour lumps. Then, gently fold in your cooked sausage.
- Pour this delicious mixture into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top evenly with the shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until it's beautifully golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let your casserole cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your healthy, hearty breakfast!
