# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. This prepares your dish for the delicious Easy Low Carb Keto Breakfast Casserole Recipe.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (sugar-free), breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink, then drain any excess fat. Set aside.
03 -
Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced, and 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced, for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 5 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped, until wilted.
04 -
In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and 1 cup of the 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese. This forms the hearty base for your Easy Low Carb Keto Breakfast Casserole Recipe.
05 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp black pepper, salt to taste, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
06 -
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable blend in the large bowl, stirring gently to combine. Transfer this mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
07 -
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the Easy Low Carb Keto Breakfast Casserole Recipe is set in the center and golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set further, making for cleaner slices. Enjoy your delicious and easy low carb keto breakfast!
