# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, then drain any excess fat from the skillet.
02 -
Add 1 medium red bell pepper (diced) and 1/2 medium yellow onion (diced) to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in 5 oz fresh spinach until it is fully wilted. This forms the hearty base for your Easy Keto Breakfast Bake Recipe.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 4 oz softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
04 -
Stir the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture into the egg foundation, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Pour the entire mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. This ensures a consistent and delicious Easy Keto Breakfast Bake Recipe.
05 -
Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the breakfast bake. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
06 -
Remove the Easy Keto Breakfast Bake Recipe from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage and veggie mix for a subtle kick.
