Breakfast is always on the menu in our home. We could happily eat it in the morning, for lunch, for dinner or even a late night snack. This Keto Breakfast Casserole is easily one of the simplest and most delicious casseroles we’ve made to date! Nothing beats eggs, cheese and meat – it’ll always fall into your keto macros perfectly and leave you satisfied. Plus, you won’t feel bad for going in for seconds or thirds!
The Ultimate Double Layer Breakfast Casserole
Anything that has two layers or more is by default a must eat food. Burgers, pizzas, salads, and now breakfast casseroles. We started with a solid layer of cauliflower rice – veggies always make a great addition. Then, we topped it with some fatty, seasoned breakfast sausage. Who could say no to that? Next, of course, the mandatory heavy layer of cheese, and then why not some scallions for color and flavor? Naturally, you would think eggs come next, but we couldn’t resist but to make a second, identical layer on top. So, now, every bite has double the fatty, delicious flavor!
Our Favorite Low Carb Breakfast Foods!
Eggs and meat can get old from time to time so a couple different low carb breakfast foods are good to have in your back pocket in times of need. Maybe you feed a big family or just need a little change up! Well, don’t fret because we have a long list of options, and some of our favorites will become your new favorites too. Our macro pancakes are keto and macro friendly. Our keto oatmeal is a great replacement to your classic pre-keto oatmeal and our breakfast cookies are great for on the go and to pack in your kids’ lunch boxes!
Keto Breakfast Casserole
Casseroles are my all time favorite meals. It could be a breakfast, dinner or dessert casserole and I’ll excitedly dig right in. There is something about all the ingredients easily combined and cooked in one dish, and I can’t forget the family style aspect of it, that I love so much! If you’re also a casserole lover you’re going to want to make our chicken enchilada casserole and our broccoli and sausage casserole! Regardless of whether you yourself are a casserole lover or not, someone you know is guaranteed to love this keto breakfast casserole, so go ahead and make it!

great recipe. Easily adapted. Easy cleanup and I only use three dishes. I did modify for taste – replacing the breakfast sausage with hot Italian sausage – and dropping the salt and pepper. Breakfast for a week.
Can you use frozen cauliflower rice?
You should be able to, but you’ll want to steam it first and then make sure to drain/squeeze out excess liquid.
Are these recipes nutrition for per serving or entire recipe ?
Per serving.
add a half pound or full pound of bacon and this would be over the top
Is/can the riced cauliflower be cooked? Or is it raw?
It should be raw.
Do you cover the dish prior to baking?
You can if you want, I don’t think the top would get browned, but it would still cook 🙂
Is this 6 or 12 servings? The comments section states 6 but under nutrition info states 12 ??
Sorry Rita, that should say 12! 12 is correct.
The recipe says 12 servings, do you know how much grams or ounces for each?
No sorry, just divide it into 12!
What happens if you use bacon instead of sausage? And can you use both?
That should work fine!
Looks Great! How many servings does it make?
12!
How many servings is this?
6!
I want to do the same thing for our Easter morning potluck brunch… I have the same question.
Can this be made the night before & then pop in the oven in the morning? I want to bring it to breakfast at church on Sunday but don’t have time in the morning to prepare. Just time to bake it. Thank you
I prepared the dish the night before without the eggs, covered and refrigerated it, and in the morning whipped and added the eggs. I had to add an additional 6 minutes of baking time due to the cold sausage and cauliflower, but it turned out great. Super yummy.
Thank you! I just made this and ate it as my first meal of the day. I forgot the cream but it is still delicious!
OH YUM!!! Breakfast casserole to the rescue!
We sautéed a half cup of white onion cooked until just browning and 1 cup of baby spinach with 1 tbsp of butter until just translucent. Then halted it into the 1st layer of cauliflower rice sausage and cheese and then added the remainder. We are now sitting in anticipation!
Glad to be able to add to MyfitnessPal much easier, recipe sounds yummy!!
Is it possible to make this without the eggs and have it stay in macros? Not a big fan of eggs….in any form 🙁
Sure! With or without eggs for sure!
Would this survive if I cut it into servings after baking and freezing them for a later date?
it sure would! In fact, if you made it in muffin tins it would work great!
Hi,
Can you use Eggbeaters in place of whole eggs?
Thank you
You could but that would alter the nutrition and make it much higher in protein
I bet I couldnt have portion control here
What’s portion control?
