This rich, tasty, and filling keto breakfast casserole is made with sausage, eggs, spinach, and cheese. It's wonderfully flavorful!

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, divided; 4 ounces)
  • 1 pound breakfast pork sausage (raw)
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves (2 ounces)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a square 9-inch pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Use a rubber spatula to mix in ½ cup of the shredded cheddar. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat a large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. There’s no need to add oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking it up, until browned, 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Turn the heat off and mix in the spinach leaves (you can leave them whole) just until they are very slightly wilted from the pan’s residual heat.

  5. 5

    Transfer the sausage-spinach mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly on the bottom.

  6. 6

    Remix the eggs and pour them into the pan on top of the sausage mixture. If needed, gently stir the mixture inside the pan to evenly spread the sausage and spinach.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese on top of the casserole.

  8. 8

    Bake the casserole until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown. In my oven, it takes 25 minutes.

  9. 9

    Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before cutting it into nine squares and serving.
