If you need a new low carb breakfast to try, this easy breakfast casserole is seriously good! So filling and super simple to prepare!
My husband is an absolute nut for breakfast foods.
I mean, I eat a little breakfast each day. Sometimes an avocado drizzled with Cholula. Sometimes a scrambled egg. Sometimes I just drink my coffee and call it good.
I think the avocado with Cholula is my favorite low carb breakfast of all time, though. It’s so good!
Anyway, I’m getting off track!
I eat a super simple breakfast through the week, but on the weekends the husband is home and he wants a MEAL.
He’s happy to cook it himself, but I like to play the loving wife and make him bacon and eggs and all the other good breakfast food most days.
But, I also like to sleep in and be super lazy, sooooo that’s where this easy breakfast casserole comes into play.
How to make a keto breakfast casserole:
I keep it low carb by cutting any sort of starchy veggies or bread and just sticking to the good stuff: eggs, meat, and cheese!
I’ve used sausage and bacon today, but ham is tasty too! Who doesn’t love pork in the morning?
Start by browning your sausage in a large skillet. Break up the chunks as you go and drain the grease when it is done.
Dice your bacon into bite sized chunks, and cook them fully in a large skillet until they are a little crispy. Drain this grease when it is done.
Crack a dozen eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the milk. You will whisk this together until it is combined well.
Stir in your cooked sausage and bacon. Then add the cheese, onion, pepper, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Still this all together.
Spray your favorite 9×13 baking dish with a non stick spray and pour the egg mixture into it.
Bake this at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes. The eggs will be set and the edges golden brown when it is done.
Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve!
Make Ahead Breakfast Casserole:
This easy breakfast casserole can be made in advance.
Prepare, bake, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Just pop individual servings in the microwave to reheat. It’s even good cold, if you ask me.
Obviously, this means that it makes a fabulous holiday recipe. You know when you have a million people staying at your house over the holidays and you’re just like…ugh. You want me to cook for you AGAIN?
This is perfect for that feeling.
If you’re not watching carbs, this is another of my favorite breakfast casserole recipes.

Yummy ?. Delicious ?
My wife found this recipe for me. I’m doing Keto for medical reasons and we are trying to find recipes that our whole family will like. This is one of them. Like a previous commenter noted, the nutritional information/accuracy of Keto recipes I eat is important. Please update this if you ever need to. We had this for dinner last night and breakfast this morning.
Kate Purdue says
I saw the Nutritional Information before I saw the comments and was impressed there was even an attempt. The total counts are going to completely dependent on what type of sausage is used, it varies widely in fat and calories. Kudos for the recipe, and if any nutritional info is that critical for me, I’ll add it up and divide and do the mat myself based on the ingredients used.
SSMiller says
A good layer of raw spinach in between the egg and cheese is a hit ?
Kathleen says
Oooooooooh! Yum!
P.Damm says
If your going claim to post a “low carb” recipe then give accurate nutritional info, AND SERVING SIZE!
Karly says
I gave the best nutrition information available to me and I did provide a serving size, but feel free to find your recipes elsewhere.
Helen Strawson says
Bravo ??
Helen Strawson says
The question marks should have been a clapping emoji 🙁
Kelly says
How many servings does this make? I can’t find a serving size.
Karly says
This makes 12 servings. 🙂
Chérie says
My hubby and I cannot find the serving size at all. We see it yields 12, and the neutrino table, but HOW BIG of a piece is a serving size. My hubby and I hardly ever can find what the serving size is on majority of recipes, we need to know this for keto. We need to know to input it in our macro manager. Thanks
Karly says
Hi Cherie,
The recipe is baked in a 9×13 baking dish. Cut the dish into 12 equally sized pieces.
Sophia says
Way to be ugly p.damm. no class whatsoever. Didn’t your parents teach you if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it?
ty says
Ummmm ….yields 12, use a 13×9 pan, do you need someone to draw you a diagram? How ungrateful for the free, easy and yummy recipe
Kelly Lasala says
Can you prep everything the night before then bake in the morning?
Karly says
I haven’t tried this. I think I would probably prep everything the night before but assemble just before baking.
Donna says
Have you had someone make the night before yet? I just did so can t wait to see how it ends up in the morning. ?
Trish says
I made it last night and fully assembled. Baked it this morning and it was delish!!!
Cheryl says
How many days will it stay good in the fridge
Karly says
This lasts for 4-5 days. 🙂
Joan says
Do you think you could freeze this in portions ?
Karly says
Yes, for sure!
Joan MacLeod says
Thanks so much.
DEANNA says
Thanks for the low carb meals! Hubs is doing the Keto diet and I’ve been to trying to find different meals
Karly says
Hope you both love this one!
Dannell says
If I wanted to make these in a muffin pan so I could freeze for later, would the bake time be the same? Sorry, not much of a baker.
Karly says
Should be somewhere around 20-25 minutes. 🙂
Sheila says
Why can’t this recipe be “pinned”???
Karly says
I’m able to pin it just fine. I think it might be something on your end, unfortunately.
Cheryl says
How many days will it stay good in the fridge
Ivory says
This looks amazing. Gotta make this dish
Karly says
Hope you love it!
Jan says
Is there a way to cut the sodium???
Karly says
You could find reduced sodium bacon and sausage, cut the Frank’s, and reduce the salt to taste.
Chels says
This looks delish! Loving having this still delicious option for breakfast but having it a little bit healthier!
Katherine | Love In My Oven says

Dawn @ Words Of Deliciousness says
I love breakfast casseroles. This one sounds yummy. It is just the opposite in my house, I love a big breakfast to get my day going and my hubby like something a little lighter.
Zona Cooks says
Karli, this breakfast casserole looks amazing! My husband and I are the opposite of you, I am the wimp and he loves spicy so I know he will love this 🙂
Zona Cooks says

Super used to it. 😉 No worries.
Hillary Harper says
This looks incredible! This would be great to make for guests coming over for breakfast!

Kye says
This is a good recipe that I cut in half since it was just for today’s breakfast. I used locally produced breakfast link sausage that I cut up into pieces. I also added baby bella mushrooms to it.
