Made with eggs, sausage and fresh vegetables this Sausage Breakfast Casserole is a healthy and low carb recipe that is perfect to enjoy any time of day. As an added bonus  you can prep this casserole the night before so it is perfect for brunch with guests or a family holiday.

 I often make a dish of this casserole on Sunday afternoon and then divide it into servings for a quick low carb breakfast during the week. 

This egg casserole goes perfectly with these Easy Drop Biscuits. If you are serving breakfast or brunch for a crowd cook up a batch of bacon in the oven to save time. For a delicious brunch add something sweet these Blueberry Muffins or unexpected like Grape Salad or a fun Bloody Mary Bar.

Variations and Substitutions:

  • Swap the pork sausage for turkey sausage, chorizo or even ground Italian sausage.
  • Don’t like sausage? Try cooked ham or cooked crumbled bacon instead. 
  • Use a different kind of cheese. Use your favorite or try Swiss, Mozzarella, Monterey Jack or Colby Jack cheese. 
  • Add a few veggies: add spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or sautéed broccoli that’s been chopped into bite size pieces.

For reheating in the oven transfer to oven safe pan or dish and then place in a 350 degree oven for 2-4 minutes or until desired temperature. 

Freezer:  Place leftovers in an airtight container or freezer safe zip top bag and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

    I love that you took my favorite omelette ingredients and made a breakfast bake out of them. That will make it easier when I have a hungry group to feed. I’ll probably add mushrooms and sprinkle it with fresh green onions from the garden when they are available. Thanks for the recipe
