Is It Best To Eat Breakfast On Keto?

One thing I've noticed after eating a low carb lifestyle for numerous years is that there is no "right way" to do keto.

Many people prefer the benefits of intermittent fasting because it can reduce the amount of times per day your glucose levels are raised. Fewer meals also makes keeping your net carbs in check.

However, there's nothing saying that you can't eat low carb and still enjoy a hearty meal in the morning. As long as you stay within your recommended daily macros, whatever eating pattern works for you to stay on track is fine on keto.

What Should I Have For Breakfast On Keto?

In my opinion, breakfast is one of the easiest meals to find low carb options without feeling like you're missing out on some of your favorite foods.

Change up your morning routine with a different combination of sausage, eggs, bacon, or cheese for a variety of flavor combinations.

Keto breakfast doesn't have to be only savory options. You can also enjoy things on the sweet side with Keto Blueberry Muffins or Protein Pancakes.

Ingredients To Grab

Eggs- Scramble these well to ensure you incorporate plenty of air into them for a fluffy egg casserole.
Bacon- Use a precooked bacon for an even quicker breakfast solution. Make it super simple by using my Air Fryer Bacon recipe!
Cauliflower Rice- Use homemade riced cauliflower for a more affordable option. You can also use store bought for extra convenience.
Cheese- Shredding your own cheese helps further reduce the net carbs per serving in this Keto Breakfast Casserole.
Heavy Cream- Prevents the casserole from drying out while baking.
Salt
Pepper

How To Make Keto Breakfast Casserole

Excluding the effort it takes to steam your riced cauliflower and air fry the bacon (if you're living a low carb lifestyle, these are likely things you already have prepped in your refrigerator anyway) this is a quick and easy pour and cook recipe.

Follow the steps below for a tasty Gluten Free Breakfast Casserole the whole family will love!

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Steam your cauliflower rice and pat dry.
Place the steamed cauliflower rice in the bottom of a casserole dish. Crumble precooked bacon over the top of the cauliflower.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the crumbled bacon and steamed cauliflower.
In a separate bowl, scramble together the eggs, salt, and pepper.
Pour the eggs evenly over the top of the ingredients in the casserole dish.
Bake the Keto Breakfast Casserole for 25 minutes or until the center of the casserole is completely set.
Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle with even more cheese and serve.

Variations

Add a variety of veggies. While eating low carb, it's important to include a variety of vegetables into your diet. In addition to the cauliflower rice, you can also add other low carb steamed vegetables before baking. Anything from spinach, to broccoli, to an onion and pepper blend would all make a tasty bite.
Swap out the protein. If you don't have any bacon in your fridge or you simply prefer a different breakfast meat, swap out the bacon with a keto-friendly precooked ground sausage or some cooked diced ham.
Bulk it up. To keep it low carb and gluten free, dice a piece or two of your favorite low carb bread and add it to the bottom of the dish before pouring in the rest of your ingredients and baking. This will give you a low carb version of a breakfast bread pudding.

What To Serve With It

This Keto Breakfast Casserole is a complete meal when served alone, but it is even better when you pair it with other breakfast options. Here are some of my favorite things to serve alongside it:

How Long Does It Last?

This Keto Breakfast Casserole is great for big weekend family breakfasts, but can also double as a full week of breakfast if you're a meal prepper.

For the best bite, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
