I thought I’d share with you guys this High Protein Low Carb Breakfast Casserole recipe that my husband created. My husband has been on a high protein, no sugar / low carb eating plan for about 9 months. This breakfast casserole is packed with 37 grams of protein per serving and it’s great to make at the beginning of the week and you can easily warm up a piece each day for breakfast.

It’s packed with eggs, turkey bacon and sausage. He also swaps out the turkey bacon for ham too. So you can totally customize this breakfast casserole with proteins you love and/or veggies too.

Is the sausage already cooked
Yes – they are frozen, precooked sausage patties. Thanks for pointing that out – I’ve updated the recipe.
Do you add milk to this? Or just crack eggs and whisk? Thanks
No milk in this recipe, yep just crack the eggs and whisk.
I’m attempting this “project” this morning. My wife sent it to me via Pinterest… thanks for sharing! Can’t wait!
Do you cook the breakfast sausage first? Or is it raw when you put it on top?
Looks like precooked patties.
