Plus, it&#8217;s delicious and loaded with two kinds of protein-rich meat, low-carb vegetables and plenty of cheesy goodness.<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t find any potatoes, bread or crackers in this protein-packed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-breakfast-casseroles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-breakfast-casseroles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">healthy breakfast casserole<\/a>.

In other words, this keto diet superfood is the perfect way to jumpstart any keto day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy cream:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/keto-diet-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/keto-diet-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Keto diet recipes<\/a> favor heavy cream over low-fat dairy options because of its ample fat content. Cream adds richness to the casserole and prevents the eggs from gaining a spongy texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bacon:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re avoiding processed meats on your keto plan, look for nitrate-free bacon. Traditional bacon isn&#8217;t the only option, either. You can use any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-bacon-you-should-know\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-bacon-you-should-know\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">type of bacon<\/a>, including turkey bacon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sausage:<\/strong>\u00a0Choose either pork or turkey sausage for protein, fat and plenty of zesty flavors. Be sure to check the ingredients and avoid sausages with carb-containing additives, fillers or flavorings. For example, maple sausage contains added sugar (a simple carbohydrate).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables: <\/strong>Red peppers, zucchini and baby kale add vibrant color along with vitamins, minerals and a dose of fiber. If you can&#8217;t find baby kale, feel free to swap in baby spinach.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong> A combination of cheddar and Gruyere cheeses adds extra fat that makes this dish creamy, rich and satisfying. If you prefer another blend of melting cheeses, go ahead and use them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> We season the casserole with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and oregano.\u00a0 Those who prefer to limit or avoid dried herbs and spices on their keto plan can reduce or omit them. At these quantities, however, we found the carbs negligible and well worth the added flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the bacon<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.
