Recipe: Keto Breakfast Casserole for Christmas Morning
December 11, 2017
Our healthy spin on a Christmas classic is sure to be a favorite. The red and green bell peppers bring a pop of holiday color, while the turkey sausage and egg whites offer lower calories and fat than a typical egg breakfast casserole. You can use a 9x13 pan or two festive, molded pans like we used in the video below.
Whether you are hosting or visiting family, Christmas morning can be packed with busyness. This Christmas breakfast casserole can be prepped the night before and baked in the morning. Even better, it's friendly for family members on the keto diet or who are needing to eat gluten-free foods. (Check to make sure the sausage selected is gluten-free, however.)
