Keto Cajun Sausage Breakfast Scramble

Keto Cajun Sausage Breakfast Scramble Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ Tablespoon unsalted butter, or vegetable oil
    • 6 oz Louisiana style, andouille sausage (see note)*
    • 1 cup chopped onions
    • 1 cup chopped celery
    • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
    • 8 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning blend (see note)*
    • ½ cup half & half
    • 1 ¼ cup cheddar cheese

 

How do you make Cajun Sausage Breakfast Scramble?

Cajun Sausage Breakfast Scramble looks amazing, but this savory Keto breakfast takes less than 20 minutes to cook. Now that you know, we bet this is your new favorite breakfast! 

The process is quick and easy. Start by cutting the sausages into bite sizes, then melt half a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sausage to the melted butter in the skillet and sauté until hot. When ready, remove the sausage from the skillet and transfer into a clean bowl. Then put bell peppers, celery, and onions into the skillet. Cook and occasionally stir for about three minutes until the onions soften. Add the cooked vegetable to sausage, then set aside. Doesn’t that smell good?!

Now for the eggs. Whisk them in a large bowl while combining you half and half spice blend until it is well-blended.. Put the remaining butter in the skillet and melt over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Scramble the eggs until they become soft. Add half of the cheese, then toss in the sausage and vegetables. Continue stirring and cooking until the cheese begins melting. Once the cheese melts, you’re ready to divvy up or serve to enjoy!

 

 

How to portion Cajun Sausage Breakfast Scramble?

When your Keto Cajun breakfast scramble cools, sprinkle the remaining cheese over scramble. Reheating the scramble in the microwave makes the cheese melt. Then distribute the sausage breakfast scramble into four equal portions into our Good Cook® Meal Prep Bowls.

    Is half and half necessary in the recipe? What is it for, just to add some more fat?

    Reply
    • Sarah Kesseli says

      August 25, 2020 at 6:21 am

      Hi JB, you could swap the half and half for any variety of milk instead. If you don't use the milk/half and half, the eggs won't be as fluffy.

    Can I use chorizo instead of andouille sausage? If so should I not use the Creole seasoning and the celery?

      Hi Crystal, You can swap the andouille for chorizo. However, we would recommend tasting the dish as you make it to see if it needs additional seasoning. Since we didn't try the recipe using chorizo, we can't say whether or not any, or some, of the seasoning, would be needed.
