Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces bulk pork sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups unsweetened almond milk or other low-carb milk alternative
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ½ teaspoon dried sage
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 slices low-carb bread cut into ½-inch cubes (approx. 4 cups cubed)
  • ¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing the dish

Method
 

  1. Prepare Dish: Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray or softened butter.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage, crumbling it with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease thoroughly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, salt, ground mustard, dried sage, and black pepper until uniformly combined.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Add the cubed low-carb bread, shredded Cheddar cheese, and the cooked, drained sausage to the egg mixture. Gently stir to ensure the bread is well-coated.
  5. Chill: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish securely (e.g., with plastic wrap or a fitted lid) and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. This step is crucial for the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
  6. Preheat & Rest: Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to baking to allow it to come closer to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Bake: Uncover the dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the casserole is puffed, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 6 portions and serving warm.
