We started preparing this dish Christmas Eve for a special family brunch on Christmas morning and look forward to it every holiday season. It is very special and delicious!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Everyone should have a great breakfast casserole in their recipe box and this low-carb one does not disappoint. Whether serving for a holiday breakfast or a brunch with friends, it can be prepared the night before and then just pop it in the oven an hour before you're ready to eat. It's a little different than other recipes because there is no bread. We opted to add both the sausage and bacon, because why not... The final result is savory, super cheesy, and very good.

  • Meat and cheese added to the eggs.
    4
    Add the meat and 1/2 the cheeses to the egg mixture. Add the chiles, if using. (I like to make a smaller pan with chiles for those who like a kick).
