Breakfast Casserole
We found a tasty recipe to make a breakfast casserole that uses no bread fillers. I think the original recipe would be just fine for Induction:
Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients:
1 2.5" onion (chopped)
1 8oz can sliced mushrooms (drained)
1 pound Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
1 pint Land 'o Lakes Whipping Cream
2 cups Shredded Cheese
10 jumbo Eggs
Vegetable Spray
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
Directions:
Chop medium onion (8.7 carbs) and add to 8 oz. can of drained mushrooms (2-4 carbs).....saute in butter in the microwave or on the stovetop until soft...set aside.
Whip up a mixture of 8-10 eggs (4.8-6 carbs) and 1 pint whipping creme (13-16 carbs), salt and pepper...set aside.
Brown in frying pan 1 lb. package bulk Jimmy Dean (or any brand pure meat) sausage until pink is gone.
Spray 9x13 pan with pam or other spray.....pour in thin layer of egg mixture.......cover with sausage mixture.....sprinkle with sauteed mushrooms and onions...cover with 2 cups shredded cheese (I've usually used Colby-Jack, but Kraft or Sargento Taco Blends are tasty, too)...pour egg mixture evenly over top...bake at 350 until brown...(times can vary by oven...ours takes 20-25 minutes.)
Cut into squares as needed and re-heat in microwave...makes breakfast for several mornings. Can also be individually "baggied" and stored in freezer for up to a couple of weeks for handy use!
=======================================================
Basic Recipe Net Carb Count:
2.5" Onion=8.7c Net
1 lb. Bulk Sausage=0c Net
8 oz Canned Mushrooms=4c Net (varies by brand)
10 Jumbo Eggs=6c NET
1 pint (16 oz.) Whipping ("Heavy") Cream=16c Total (varies by brand)
2 cups Shredded Cheese=4.3c Total (varies by brand)
37.3c Net for recipe as written
3" x 4.3" portion=4.15c Net Carbs ea.
3" x 3" portions=3.1 Net Carbs ea.
(these are conservative averages...check the actual carb counts for the ingredients you use.)
=================================
Variations:
Use a White Sauce as replacement for some Whipping Cream ("Heavy Cream")
Add chopped Red & Green Bell Peppers to sauteed Mushrooms & Onions (reduce Onions?)
Add crumbled Bacon for more variety
Top with Pimentos & sliced Black Olives for color
Top Square w/1 tsp. LC Salsa for serving
(don't forget to add/modify carbs for ingredient variations)
Enjoy!
