Ingredients
-
- 12 large Eggs, Beaten
- ½ Cup Half and Half
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (Click here for my favorite brand on Amazon)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 5 ounces Raw baby spinach
- 4 Slices Thick cut bacon, cooked and cut into 2 inch pieces
Instructions
-
-
Pre-heat the oven to 375F and spray a 9 x 9 casserole with cooking spray
-
-
In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly. Add in the cheese
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Add in the mushrooms and sauté for 1 minute more. Finally, add in the spinach and mix in with the mushrooms. Continue to sauté until the spinach is wilted. Remove from the heat.
-
Add the spinach and mushrooms to the bowl with the eggs. Mix to combine. Pour into the greased casserole and lay the bacon pieces on top.
-
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until the casserole is set in the middle.
-
Serve hot, or wrap portions in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge up to 1 week.
Tips
- You can easily double this recipe and use a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes or until set.
- You can definitely use heavy cream instead of half and half if you want a lower carb count.
- You can add cooked sausage or crumbled bacon into the casserole. I would use ½ pound of sausage cooked and crumbled, or 6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled. Add it to the egg mixture with the mushrooms and spinach.
- To check the low carb breakfast casserole for doneness…insert a butter knife into the middle of the casserole and check to see if the egg is set.
- This keto breakfast casserole is perfect for freezing. You can bake the casserole in a foil pan, let cool, cover with foil and then freeze, or you can bake it, let cool, remove it from the pan, wrap very well in foil, and freeze.
