Ingredients for Rebekah’s Keto Egg Casserole
Here’s everything you’ll need to create this cheesy, savory casserole. These simple ingredients bring maximum flavor with minimal fuss:
- 1 (8 ounce) package breakfast sausage

How to Make Rebekah’s Keto Egg Casserole
Here’s how to bring this hearty breakfast dish to life! Follow our easy step-by-step instructions, and you’ll have a crowd-pleasing casserole ready in no time:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage. Break it apart with a wooden spoon until it’s browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Mix the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, shredded Cheddar cheese, heavy whipping cream, minced onion, dry mustard, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Assemble the casserole: Pour the egg mixture over the sausage in the casserole dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Bake: Place the casserole in your preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are firm and cooked through. Keep an eye on it after 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Tips from Our Kitchen
Here are a few pointers to ensure your keto egg casserole turns out perfectly:
- Customize the flavors: Swap the breakfast sausage for cooked bacon, ground turkey, or even chorizo to mix things up.
- Go dairy-free: If you prefer, replace heavy whipping cream with coconut milk and use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Don’t overbake: Check your casserole after 30 minutes, as overbaking can cause the eggs to lose their fluffy texture.
- Add veggies: Sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms can easily be added to boost nutrients without adding too many carbs.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
This is the perfect dish to make ahead or batch cook. Here’s how to store and enjoy leftovers:
- Refrigerate: Let the casserole cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds.
- Freeze: Cut the casserole into portions, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
