Ingredients In A Breakfast Casserole
The options are limitless when making a breakfast casserole. Surprisingly, even on keto you have so many options.
The basics include:
- Cheese
- Bacon
- Ham
- Sausage
- Veggies
You can’t go wrong with any of these ingredients and their all keto friendly. But, with my recipe I took my cauliflower hash brown recipe and layered it into a healthy casserole dish.
How To Make A Keto Breakfast Casserole
What makes this casserole different are the layers!
First, cook your cauliflower rice with all the spices used to transform them into my hash brown recipe. This only takes 5 minutes to do.
Next, cook your bacon to a crisp and grab your shredded cheese. In a mixing bowl, add eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper then grab your casserole dish. I used a 8×8 baking dish for this recipe.
Layer your keto hash browns first and pat the layer down evenly. Toss the bacon and cheese on top evenly then pour your eggs on top.
Place in oven for 30 minutes then remove and allow it to cool. If you chose to make ahead cover then place in refrigerator overnight.
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Customize for you, if you look at the ingredients above you’ll see there are plenty of options. You can remove everything and use this as a base recipe to make you own.
- Don’t overcook, the creaminess from the egg comes from not overcooking. If the times goes off and you notice a small jiggle in the egg that is fine. It will settle after it cools.
- Cook any ingredients ahead of time. You have to do this not only for a better flavor but to make sure meat is cooked throughly. The meats will not cook properly inside of the egg.
Can You Freeze Keto Breakfast Casserole
Yes, but freeze it after you make it. This is because if you freeze before cooking heavy cream does not thaw evenly. The proteins separate and it’ll mess the recipe up. So, cook it first. Then, freeze to your liking.
I highly recommend anyone that doesn’t have a vacuum sealer get on it’s a game changer when freezing your recipes for later.
