Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage
  • 10 large eggs
  • 4 oz (113g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (96g / 3.39 oz) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (28g / 0.99 oz) flaxseed meal
  • 4 tbsp (57g / 2.01 oz) butter, melted
  • 6 tbsp (90 ml) sugar-free maple syrup, divided
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp dried sage
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Feel free to add low-carb vegetables like sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or diced bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients. Just be sure to cook them and squeeze out any excess moisture first.
  • Experiment with different cheeses! Smoked gouda, Monterey Jack, or a spicy pepper jack would all be delicious substitutions for cheddar.
  • This casserole is perfect for meal prep. Store individual slices in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick and easy breakfast.
  • To check for doneness, gently shake the pan. The center should be firm and not jiggle, and the top will be golden brown.

  6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flaxseed meal, onion powder, garlic powder, dried sage, salt, and pepper.
  7. To the dry , add the 10 eggs, shredded cheese, melted butter, and 4 tablespoons (60 ml / 2 fl oz) of the sugar-free maple syrup.
  8. Whisk until everything is well combined.
  9. Gently fold the cooked sausage into the egg mixture.
  10. Pour the entire mixture into your prepared casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  11. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of maple syrup over the top.
  12. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  13. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
