Keto Sausage Veggie Scramble (Printable)

A savory low-carb breakfast featuring sausage, vibrant veggies, and fluffy eggs for a nutritious start.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 5 oz pork sausage, crumbled, sugar-free

→ Vegetables

02 - 1/2 small red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1/2 small zucchini, diced
04 - 1/4 small red onion, diced
05 - 1/2 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

→ Eggs & Dairy

06 - 4 large eggs
07 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
08 - 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1 tablespoon butter

→ Spices & Seasonings

10 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
11 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the crumbled sausage and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
02 - Add the red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
03 - Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted.
04 - In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
05 - Reduce the skillet heat to low. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables. Allow to set slightly, then gently stir and fold until the eggs are just cooked through but still soft.
06 - Sprinkle with cheddar cheese if using, cook for another 30 seconds until melted, then remove from heat.
07 - Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs or avocado slices if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's ready in under 25 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning without stress.
  • The heavy cream makes the eggs impossibly creamy without any flour or starch tricks.
  • You get real, satisfying protein and fat that keeps you full until lunch.
  • It tastes indulgent enough to feel like a treat, not like you're being good.
02 -
  • Don't walk away during the egg-cooking stage—low heat and frequent gentle stirring are what create the creamy texture, not high heat and aggressive scrambling.
  • If your sausage releases a lot of grease, spoon some off before adding the eggs, or your scramble will be slick instead of silky.
03 -
  • Dice your vegetables the night before and store them in the fridge—this makes the 10-minute prep time feel even shorter on busy mornings.
  • If you're feeding more than two people, this recipe doubles easily without adjusting cook times much, just give the sausage an extra minute or two to brown.
