Keto Breakfast Bowl with Sausage, Eggs, and Veggies Recipe

Introduction

This Keto Breakfast Bowl is a hearty and flavorful way to start your day. Packed with greens, bell peppers, savory sausage, and creamy scrambled eggs, it’s perfect for those following a low-carb lifestyle. Plus, it’s easy to prepare in advance for busy mornings.

In a white bowl placed on a white marbled surface, there are four sections of food arranged like layers. One layer has soft, fluffy scrambled eggs in a pale yellow color, next to it is a portion of cooked ground meat in a brown shade with a crumbly texture. Below the meat, there are slices of cooked red and orange bell peppers that look tender and slightly glossy. The last section contains wilted dark green spinach leaves that appear moist and slightly shiny. The layers do not overlap but sit side by side, filling the bowl evenly.

Ingredients

  • 5 oz greens (or baby spinach)
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and the crushed garlic. Sauté for about one minute, then add a handful of greens. Stir to wilt and shrink the greens, adding more until all are cooked. Season with salt and black pepper if desired. Remove the greens from the pan and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Using the same pan, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the sliced bell peppers. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened. Remove the peppers from the pan and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. In a blender, combine the eggs and heavy cream, blending until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pan and cook like scrambled eggs, gently pushing the edges toward the center with a spatula until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Spray the pan again with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Brown the breakfast sausage, breaking it up as it cooks, until no pink remains and it’s cooked through.
  5. Step 5: This recipe makes three breakfast bowls. Divide each of the four components (greens, bell peppers, eggs, sausage) evenly into three containers. Seal with lids and freeze. Alternatively, mix all components together, divide into three containers, and freeze.

Tips & Variations

  • Swap breakfast sausage for bacon or turkey sausage for a different flavor.
  • Add shredded cheese to the eggs for extra creaminess.
  • Use kale or Swiss chard instead of spinach for a heartier green.
  • Include a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the sausage for a spicy kick.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute sausage with sautéed mushrooms or tofu.

Storage

Store the breakfast bowls in airtight containers in the freezer for up to one month. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or microwave on a low setting until warmed through. Stir halfway during reheating for even warmth.

How to Serve

A clear glass rectangular container holds a neatly arranged meal with four layers side by side. On the left, there is a layer of cooked brown ground meat with a crumbly texture. Next to it, toward the center-left, is a fluffy yellow layer of scrambled eggs with soft folds. To the center-right, there is a pile of wilted dark green spinach leaves that look slightly glossy. On the far right, a layer of sautéed sliced red and orange bell peppers adds a bright pop of color with their slightly charred edges. The container is placed on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
