Keto Breakfast Casserole

It seems like everyone is obsessed with their slow cooker, Instant Pot, or Air Fryer, but I have to admit I’m still in love with a good oven-baked casserole. There may be no fancy buttons to push or cutting-edge food technology, but casseroles come together with ease and produce a mouthwatering one-dish meal. What’s not to love?

I’m paying homage to the timeless casserole with this post dedicated to keto breakfast casseroles.If your morning schedule allows, you can whip up a keto breakfast casserole as soon as you roll out of bed and devour it fresh out of the casserole dish before you head out the door in the morning. Or, if your mornings are bit more rushed, you can make it in the evening and heat up a slice at home or at work. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

Ingredients

  • Non-stick cooking spray

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or Colby Jack

Can You Reheat Breakfast Casserole?

Absolutely! This keto breakfast recipe reheats beautifully in the microwave, oven, or toaster oven.

How Long Can You Store a Keto Breakfast Casserole in the Fridge?

Once the casserole has cooled to room temperature, you can place it in the fridge. I highly recommend wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap or foil to keep it fresh. It will last 3 to 4 days in the fridge.

Are Eggs Low Carb?

Yes, eggs are low carb… but they aren’t carb-free! I think many people assume that all animal products are carb-free, but that’s not the case for all foods. A large egg contains 0.4g carbs, although many labels will say 0g because of labeling laws. (Under 0.5g can legally be labeled as 0g.) I’ve calculated this recipe with the true carb count so you can be confident in the nutrition facts!
