Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish or line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.
3. Sauté the onions and spinach (optional): If you’re using onions, sauté them in the same pan as the sausage for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add spinach or kale (if desired) and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
5. Assemble the casserole: Spread the cooked sausage mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
7. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This can be enjoyed on its own or with a side of avocado for extra healthy fats.

Tips:

• You can store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• For added flavor, you can sprinkle some crumbled bacon or fresh herbs on top before baking.
• If you want a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese substitute.

Enjoy your keto-friendly breakfast!
