Sausage Breakfast Scramble - Low Carb

An easy breakfast skillet meal recipe with sausage, eggs and cheese that's low-carb, keto friendly and a perfect alternative to breakfast casseroles.

JUMP TO RECIPE

This recipe hits in so many ways! It's an alternative to traditional breakfast casseroles, it's perfect for brunch, it heats up well so it's great for meal prepping and it's low carb and keto-friendly!

Since I’ve been trying to watch my carbs AND eat breakfast (which has been harder than the low-carb thing since I’ve never been much of a breakfast eater) I started making this sausage scramble.

I like to make it on Sunday afternoon, throw it in the fridge then heat up portions for breakfast before heading out to work during the week. It heats up beautifully!

This is also awesome to make when you have company because it cooks up in one pan and everyone can serve themselves!

You could make it instead of the traditional breakfast casseroles or serve it along with for something a little different or if you want to offer low-carb options.

Since I started making it I’ve come up with a couple alternatives to change it up a bit! I made the original version for you here but you can also make a Mexican and Italian version too (see below).

MEXICAN BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE VARIATION

1. Use hot breakfast sausage or chorizo
2. Add 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and garlic powder
3. Use pepper jack cheese
4. Sub cilantro for half of the green onions
5. Serve with salsa and warm flour tortillas

ITALIAN BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE VARIATION

1. Use Italian sausage
2. Add 1 tsp oregano
3. Add 1/2 teaspoon each pepper and garlic powder
4. Use mozzarella or provolone
5. Serve with freshly grated parmesan 

Recipe for Sausage Breakfast Scramble

Sausage Breakfast Scramble - Low Carb

Yield: 6 Servings

An easy low carb breakfast idea with sausage, eggs and cheese! Recipe also includes variations for Mexican and Italian breakfast scrambles as well.

Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (I prefer Jimmy Dean)
• 1 dozen eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped

Instructions

1. Cook and crumble sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through. Do not drain fat unless there is an overabundance.
2. Reduce heat to medium then push sausage to one side of the skillet to make room to cook the eggs. If your skillet is too small to allow for at least half the bottom of the pan to be free for the eggs, remove half of the sausage then add back after the eggs have cooked. We want to have enough surface area in the skillet for the eggs to cook.
3. Combine eggs, milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl then whisk until eggs are thoroughly scrambled.
4. Pour egg mixture into the empty side of the pan then cook per your preference (I like mine super soft). Once eggs are almost done, add 1 cup of cheese then mix eggs, cheese and sausage together. Top with remaining cheese and onions then serve. I like to have mine with fresh salsa or hot sauce!

Notes

See above the recipe card for Mexican and Italian variations.
