Let me start by saying, no, those are not potatoes. However, they are extremely deceiving in looks and mouth feel! Matthew and I just recently started experimenting with them and we fell in love instantly. We didn’t care much about having something to replace the potatoes because at this point cauliflower really satisfies us. But, we were looking for another low carb vegetable to mix into our cooking! Radishes are very low in carb for the amount per serving and roast up great in a skillet or in the oven, perfect for our Low Carb Breakfast Bowl!
Keto Breakfast
This recipe is really simple and fun because you get to layer a bunch of different foods! We kept it simple with a layer of radishes, a layer of sausage, a layer cheddar cheese and then one over easy egg right on top! This is a great breakfast, lunch or dinner idea because you can easily change up the ingredients. Another awesome idea would be a bottom layer of roasted broccoli, topped with crumbled bacon and blue cheese, and an over easy fried egg. I could list off breakfast bowl recipes all damn day!
Low carb Breakfast Ideas
Matthew’s favorite foods are breakfast foods. He could eat breakfast for every meal, probably for the rest of his life. Me, not so much! However, this recipe takes breakfast to another level. I love to eat mass amounts of food and that is what this recipe allows! How is it even possible that this much hearty and deliciously satisfying food is only 4 net carbs?! The secret is in the radishes. If you’re not a fan of radishes, but still love breakfast bowl recipes you should give our Keto Oatmeal or Mexican Breakfast Bowl a try!
Low Carb Breakfast Bowl
We love using cast iron skillets whenever possible, especially for a recipe like this one. For this recipe we use our 6-Inch Cast Iron Skillet that we are basically obsessed with. Not only is it great for single serve meals, but you can cook everything in it and stick it right in the oven if you need to, thus making for less dishes! It’s a win-win for us so we always highly recommend having one at home. Maintaining your cast iron skillet is a whole other thing. Check out this page to get the rundown on how to maintain yours so you can make your very own Low Carb Breakfast Bowl!

Low Carb Breakfast Bowl
Ingredients:
- 200 grams radishes
- 3.5 oz ground sausage (we used Bob Evans Savory Sage ground sausage)
- 1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1/4 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
- Cook sausage in a medium high heat until fully cooked through. Remove sausage from pan and set aside leaving grease in the pan.
- Cup up radishes into bite sized pieces and add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until radishes become tender to bite or easily pierced with a fork. It should take 8-12 minutes.
- In the meantime fry up an egg to your preference and set aside. We like ours over easy so the yolk can spill into all the layers!
- Once radishes are fully cooked layer with sausage, cheese and egg. The warm layers should melt the cheese.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

This was so delicious. I’ve never tried radishes in my life and now it will be a go to. Thanks for your recipe
I made this without the radish and I used kale/onion/jalepeno instead.
It was delicious. Great inspiration.
I made this over the weekend and it was a hit with both my wife and I. So much so that I prepared two bowls last night and added the cheese later for an easy heat and eat at work. Delicious!!! Thanks for the awesome recipe share! This one was an instant favorite for us. Easy to prepare witha great taste.
So glad you loved it!
My 1st keto recipe from your site – I LOVE it! I used my instant pot to poach eggs, got an extra crispy edge on the sausage. If the rest of my journey can be like this, I’m in!!! I’ve been just eating the basics – veggies, meat, eggs – and I know I won’t go long like that.
Thank you.
Spelling error in Recipe, number 5. ‘MELT’ the cheese. 🙂 Thanks for the article. Good one.
All fixed, thank you.
Just made this, with about a tablespoon of added bacon fat, and it’s delicious! Tastes just like something you’d get at a dinner, mixed with a sausage egg McMuffin. Also added a bit of oregano and sea salt.
Just made this for the first time because I was hardcore craving breakfast food after a great workout. It was exactly what I needed! My bf (who is quasi-keto) approved and this will be added to our weekend breakfast rotation. Thank you!!!
Great recipe. I triple it and I put in in round deli plastic containers for meal prep. However, when I load it, I load it backwards. Scrambled eggs first, cheese, meat, radishes. This way to reheat, I quickly dump the dish in my little fry pan with some bacon grease and the radishes are on the bottom so they get crisped up a little bid. Add the lid and the eggs and everything get warm and it still looks like a skillet. It tastes amazing. Because I am doing DSK, my daughter gets more of the radishes in hers and I cut mine in half to drop the total carbs to about 3. Works great!
Hey David,
How well does this reheat? I usually meal prep for 4-5 days in advance. I have never prepped with radishes before, thanks for helping a fellow keto’er out 🙂

i made this for breakfast thismorning and it was so good, could have coocked radishes a bit linger but not to bad at all . i used ground hamburg meat insted of sausage and i loved it. good recipe
Great feedback! Thanks so much, we’re so glad you liked it!
This recipe was AMAZINGGGG! If you’re scared because you think you hate radishes, push forward! After they cook down in the sausage grease, they taste so good you won’t even miss potatoes!
We will definitely be making this at least once a week while on keto.
Love love love!
I completly agree!
I expected a waisted dish- not radish fans!
This recipe is Amazinggggg!
My husband’s a die hard potato man (and not on the keto wagon yet) he said he would eat this all day long!
TRY IT!
We Will be adding this to our Saturday morningsfor sure!
Thanks again Matte and Megha
I am curious if you have ever made these ahead and frozen them prepping for breakfast on the go?
Hey laura! Great question! We’ve not tried this yet!
Ok, so this is my 4th recipes from you guys, this week (LOL), Butter Chicken, Chicken crust Pizza, Brownies and now the Breakfast bowl. All was so good, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Keep it up, you are my go to for ideas.
Yes!!! Glad you liked them all. We love hearing that.
I may had this for breakfast and was positively surprised! I will have that more often in the future ☺️ thank you for this recipe! Keep up the good work, I love your blog and videos!
Jeanette
We’re glad you liked it Jeanette!
I am so happy! I was looking through all the Keto Connect YOU tube videos, and on the website today. This popped up on Facebook, like a dream come true!
Thank you Keto Connect!
I love you guys! Awesome!!!
This was awesome. The radishes I used were pretty mild. Texture was spot on. Used Bacon instead of sausage. I will use this again.
I watch you 2 on YT for creative ideas. You don’t disappoint.? Came on here for cheese cakes & found this recipe. Best keto breakfast! Never knew to fry radishes?. The only thing I did different is I did rinse, cut & salt them the night before to tone down the radish flavor. I may add onions while frying them next time. They came so close to southern fried potatoes just need to add onions. ? You 2 really do an awesome job!????
Glad you liked the recipe Jacqui! Thanks for all the kind words about our youtube channel.
Thank you for reminding me about radishes. I had totally forgotten that they even existed after going keto. They add great textural variety to the dish and even remind a bit of potatoes. I’m definitely gonna use them more from now.
Haha same with us! One day we were scrolling through instagram or something and got reminded about radishes 🙂 We’ve been making them a lot lately!
What do cooked radishes taste like? I know some foods take on a richer or at least different flavor wihen heated. Maybe the heat of the radishes and the spicy of the sausage make the combination interesting.. ? I’ll try this because your other recipes have been gems!
Cooking the radishes brings out a bit of their sweetness and they still have a slight spiciness too.
