Sausage and Egg Breakfast Skillet

Why This Is Strictly Keto

Pork sausage, eggs, cheddar, and bell peppers are all naturally low-carb, high-protein, high-fat whole foods cooked together in a single skillet — no bread, hash browns, or starchy filler in sight. It’s a one-pan breakfast built entirely around real food.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) pork breakfast sausage
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 10 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Brown the sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, bell pepper, and onion together, breaking the sausage into small pieces, until the meat is no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

2. Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3. Combine: Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture in the skillet.

4. Cook the eggs: Stir occasionally and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the eggs just begin to set.

5. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the top. Cover and cook for 2–3 minutes more, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.

6. Serve: Serve hot, straight from the skillet.

Tips

• Draining the sausage fat before adding the eggs keeps the skillet from becoming greasy.
• Stir gently once the eggs start to set — over-stirring breaks them into small curds instead of soft folds.
• Leftovers reheat well in the microwave and make a fast meal-prep breakfast for the week.
