This hearty and satisfying low-carb breakfast casserole will feed your entire family. It features both traditional ingredients and tasty spices.
Easy Egg Casserole
I like to keep my breakfast ideas easy. At the start of the day, I’m not interested in figuring out complicated recipes or doing a lot of chopping and food prep. Nope, the easier the better!
You are really going to appreciate how simple this is to make. In fact, you can save even more time if you buy pre chopped bell peppers and browning the sausage the day before.
Another way to save even more time is to bake it the day before. Then, seal it with aluminum foil or a lid and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can either reheat it in the microwave or the oven.

The combination of red and green bell peppers gives this casserole the perfect holiday flair! To enhance the red and green colors in this healthy casserole, sprinkle a few pieces of bacon and fresh parsley on top too.
Since this casserole is made with familiar breakfast ingredients, even people who aren’t on the keto diet are going to love it! It looks and tastes just like a traditional breakfast casserole that you might find at a restaurant.
Breakfast Casserole Bake
There are lots of ways that you can change or customize it too. Do you like spicy foods with a southwestern influence? Then add some seeded and chopped jalapenos.
If you have leftover baked ham from the holidays, chop it up small and use it instead of the sausage. If you want the casserole to be even cheesier, add more shredded cheddar cheese. Cheese is a really easy ingredient to swap and change.
Add some mozzarella and parmesan cheese for a completely different taste.
Keto Breakfast Bake
This is also the perfect thing to share at a group brunch. Add the egg and sausage mixture to a muffin tin and make individually-portioned egg cups! They are beautiful, delicious, and easy!
The only spices I used are slat and pepper, so there is a lot of room for your personal creativity to shine. A dash of cayenne pepper and paprika will give it some smoky heat. Garlic and parsley will add Italian flair.
Try it with some taco seasoning and topped with a small garnish of salsa! Anything is possible. This recipe is so easy to make that you’ll probably have it memorized after you make it once.
Low-Carb Egg Casserole
This egg casserole is very freezer-friendly. Bake it in a freezer-safe container and then let it cool completely. Then, seal it with aluminum foil and a lid and keep it in the freezer for up to six months.
When you are ready to eat it again, let it thaw in the refrigerator the day before. Then, reheat it in the oven at 350F for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
