Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Incorporate the softened cream cheese into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until the cream cheese is fully blended and the batter is smooth.
  4. Combine Cheeses and Meat: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked sausage or bacon if using, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix evenly to distribute all ingredients throughout the batter.
  5. Prepare to Bake: Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set, the edges are golden brown, and the top is slightly puffed up.
  7. Cool Slightly: Remove from oven and let the bake cool for a few minutes. This helps it set properly and makes slicing easier.
  8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor and a fresh finish.
  9. Serve: Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your creamy, satisfying low-carb breakfast bake!

Notes

  • You can omit sausage or bacon for a vegetarian version.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to blend easily and avoid lumps.
  • Feel free to add chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
  • For a dairy-free adaptation, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with suitable alternatives, though texture will vary.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
