Equipment
- 6-Quart Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 12 ounces cauliflower rice fresh or frozen
- 8 ounces cooked breakfast sausage links sliced
- 6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese divided for layering
- 4 ounces lean ham finely chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper chopped
- 10 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whipping cream or half-and-half for a lighter touch
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a little kick!
- 1 medium green onion thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Lightly grease the ceramic interior of your 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray or butter. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
- In the bottom of the slow cooker, combine the cauliflower rice, sliced sausage, 4 ounces of the shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped ham, and chopped red pepper. Spread the mixture out evenly.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until everything is nicely blended. Carefully pour this flavorful egg mixture over the ingredients in your slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. This will create a lovely golden crust!
- Cover your slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 4 to 5 hours. The casserole is ready when the edges are lightly browned and the center is firm and set.
- Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into generous pieces. Garnish with fresh green onions for a pop of color and flavor, then serve warm!
