I realized after I made this recipe that I have two vaguely similar baked sausage dishes on the blog already! But they ARE different. My low carb Egg and Sausage Bake is a simple dish with chopped sausages, whole eggs, cheese, and a little cream. My low carb Breakfast Casserole again has chopped sausages and cheese, but this time with beaten eggs, mushrooms and spinach. By the way both of these recipes are delicious AND have video tutorials – check them out!

THIS recipe uses ground sausage meat. I used mild Italian, but you could also use a hot version or any other variety, as long as the carb count is 0-1g net carbs per serving. I combined the sausage with beaten eggs, shredded Italian cheese, butter, cream, sour cream and a little almond flour for bulk. It's a winning combination of flavors!

How to Make a Low Carb Sausage Bake

Cook the ground sausage until it is browned all over, then drain any excess liquid and set aside.

Beat some eggs in a large bowl, then add shredded cheese, almond flour, heavy cream, and sour cream. 

(By the way sorry for the really weird lighting in these photos – there was some crazy weather going on when I was making this recipe!)

Stir until fully combined. Add the sausage and some melted butter. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper.

Pour everything into a casserole dish (mine was 10×7″), and sprinkle some additional cheese on top. 

Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes uncovered or until the center has cooked through. Cut into six portions and serve.

This is a great make-ahead dish! Let the portions cool completely, then store (covered) in the fridge. You can either eat them cold – they hold together really well – or give them a minute or two in the microwave. A super quick and filling low carb breakfast – done!
