Keto Sausage & Broccoli Breakfast Casserole
A hearty and flavorful Keto Sausage & Broccoli Breakfast Casserole, perfect for a festive Christmas morning or any healthy, low-carb start to your day. This casserole combines savory sausage, vibrant blanched broccoli, and a creamy, cheesy egg mixture for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Equipment
- Large skillet
- 9x13-inch Casserole Dish
- Pot
- Large Bowl
Ingredients
- Olive oil for greasing the dish
- 1 pound breakfast sausage mild or spicy
- 3 cups broccoli florets fresh or thawed and well-drained if frozen
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups Colby or cheddar cheese divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until thoroughly browned (around 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Toss in the broccoli florets and blanch for just 2-3 minutes until they turn a vibrant green. Immediately drain and dry them very thoroughly with paper towels to prevent a soggy casserole.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (or almond milk), half of the cheese (1 cup), salt, and pepper until well combined and fluffy.
- Gently fold the blanched and dried broccoli into the egg mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
- Spread the cooked sausage in an even layer at the bottom of your greased casserole dish. Pour the egg and broccoli mixture evenly over the sausage. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the top is beautifully golden brown. Insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This short rest helps it set, giving you neat, delicious slices.
