Understanding the Ingredients

The foundation of this Keto Breakfast Sausage Egg Bake is the harmonious blend of ingredients that create a filling and flavorful dish. The ground breakfast sausage contributes a savory and slightly spiced profile that elevates the entire bake. Opt for a high-quality sausage with minimal fillers to keep the carb count low while maximizing flavor. I find that using a sausage with herbs and spices enhances the overall taste, making your breakfast more exciting.

In addition to the sausage, eggs are the star of the dish. They provide structure and a creamy texture when baked. Using large eggs is crucial; they make the bake fluffy and rich. Incorporating heavy cream enhances the creaminess of the egg mixture, making every bite indulgent. If you want a lighter version, you can substitute some of the cream for unsweetened almond milk, but be mindful that this may alter the texture slightly.

Tips for Perfect Baking

When combining the ingredients, ensure that the sausage has cooled slightly before mixing it with the egg mixture. This prevents the heat from cooking the eggs prematurely, which can lead to a rubbery texture. Also, stir the mixture gently but thoroughly; you want it well combined without overmixing, which can create air pockets in the bake. Pour the mixture into a greased dish to avoid sticking, using cooking spray or butter for the best results.

Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the dish as it bakes. You're looking for the edges to be nicely set while the center should still be slightly jiggly—this will continue to cook off the heat. To check for doneness, inserting a knife in the center should yield clean results. If the top isn't brown enough for your liking, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch closely to prevent burning.

6 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Keto Breakfast Sausage Egg Bake:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked sausage, cheese, and diced vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.

Bake the Dish

Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Pro Tips

This dish is versatile! Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add your favorite vegetables. For even more flavor, top with fresh herbs or avocado before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this keto breakfast bake warm from the oven, but it’s also versatile enough for meal prep! Slice it into squares and serve alongside sautéed greens or a fresh avocado salad for a more complete meal. The rich flavors of the sausage and cheese pair beautifully with a light side, preventing the dish from feeling too heavy while still giving you that satisfying breakfast experience.

For a twist, consider adding toppings such as sliced green onions or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for brightness. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of hot sauce can add an exciting kick, making each serving feel unique.

Storage and Reheating

This breakfast bake stores well in the refrigerator for up to five days. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. To reheat, simply pop individual portions in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes or until warm, ensuring they don't dry out. If you're reheating the entire dish, cover it with foil to keep moisture locked in, heating at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.

For longer storage, this dish freezes well. Cut it into portions, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe bag. It can last in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
