Can I make sausage egg cheese breakfast casserole ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep everything the night before. Just mix all the ingredients, pour into your greased dish, cover with foil or wrap, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, bake it as usual—maybe add 5 extra minutes if it's going in cold from the fridge. Super helpful for busy mornings or brunch guests.

What can I use instead of sausage in this breakfast casserole?

You can swap sausage for cooked bacon, diced ham, turkey sausage, or even shredded rotisserie chicken. Just make sure the meat is fully cooked before adding it to the egg mixture. This recipe is super flexible, so use what you’ve got in the fridge.

Is this breakfast casserole really keto-friendly?

Yes, this casserole is 100% keto-friendly. It skips the bread, potatoes, and high-carb fillers. With eggs, sausage, cheese, and heavy cream, it's packed with protein and healthy fats—just what the keto diet calls for. One serving has about 2 grams of carbs or less, depending on any veggies you add.
