Biscuit Base
Preheat the oven to 180*C/360*F and grease a large casserole dish with butter. My dish was 16x11" (40x28cm)
In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: Almond flour, baking powder and salt. Mix them well together.
1.5 cups almond flour, 1 tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
In a medium mixing bowl or blender, add the wet ingredients: eggs, cream cheese, yoghurt and butter. Blend in the blender or with a hand blender.
2 eggs, 1/2 cup full-fat cream cheese, 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt, 2.5 tbsp butter
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined and no lumps are left.
Fold in the cheddar cheese.
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
Spread the biscuit batter in the greased casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes, until the top is golden-brown and a toothpick comes out clean when it's pricked in the middle.
Remove from the oven and set it aside.
Sausage
If making your own sausage, add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix well together, either with a wooden spoon or your hands.
500 g ground pork, 2 tsp pepper, 2 tsp dried sage, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp coriander seeds, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
For both homemade and store-bought sausage: In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until it browns and is cooked through. It should be a crumbly texture when it's ready.
Set it aside.
Gravy
In a medium pot, whisk the eggs with the almond milk and then turn the heat on to a medium temperature.
4 cups unsweetened almond milk, 2 eggs
Add in the cream cheese and spices, and mix until the cream cheese melts.
1/2 cup full-fat cream cheese, 2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt
Add xanthan gum to thicken.
2 tsp xanthan gum
Add the cooked sausage crumbles and turn off the heat.
Assemble the layers
On top of the biscuit base, spread the chopped kale evenly.
1 cup kale
Next, add the sausage gravy layer, spreading it evenly.
Take a large spoon (a ladle is perfect for this) and create a well in the gravy.
Crack an egg into the well.
6-8 eggs
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each egg.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the egg whites are no longer runny.
While the Keto Breakfast Casserole is baking, dice and cook the bacon until crispy.
When the casserole is finished, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with crispy bacon to garnish!
6 slices of bacon
- If you don't want to make your own sausage, add 500g of your preferred keto-friendly American sausage (the patty kind, not sausage links). If you're outside the US, this may be difficult to find so stick with the homemade sausage recipe.
