Low Carb Breakfast Casserole
This Low-Carb Breakfast Casserole is the best way to start the day! This spicy breakfast recipe is healthy and super filling!
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage or chorizo*
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 12 large eggs
- ½ cup low carb plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 2 tbsp hot sauce use your favorite!
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish. Cook and crumble the sausage in a large skillet, drain, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, garlic, and kale to the mixing bowl with the sausage and toss to combine. Pour the vegetables into the greased baking dish.
- In a large bowl (you can use the same one you just used for the sausage and vegetables), whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups of the cheddar cheese, then pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Toss to coat the vegetables and sausage in the egg mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the casserole, then bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through. Serve!
Notes
*Shave 10-15 minutes from the cooking time if you cook and drain your sausage ahead of time!
- I used turkey chorizo, but you can use any type of ground sausage. Italian, breakfast, hot, even apple sausage would work for a spicy-sweet combination!
- This casserole is very nutrient-dense meaning that even a small portion will help fill you up!
- Delicious served with avocado, sour cream/Greek yogurt, and salsa.
