Start your day with a hearty and delicious Keto Breakfast Skillet that combines savory sausage with colorful vegetables. This dish is perfect for those following a low-carb, high-fat diet and provides sustained energy throughout the morning.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 pound of breakfast sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups of spinach, chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: shredded cheese or avocado slices for topping
Cooking Instructions
Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and diced bell peppers until they soften, approximately 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Make three small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the eggs are done to your preferred doneness, about 4-6 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the skillet hot, garnished with shredded cheese or slices of avocado for added flavor and healthy fats. This dish pairs well with a side of salsa or hot sauce for a little extra kick.
