Keto Chorizo Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients List
- 1 Tbsp butter, room-temperature, divided
- 8 oz Mexican-style raw chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1.2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (4 oz) shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, drained
- 1 plum tomato, seeded and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) degrees. Grease a 9-inch-square baking dish with half of the butter.
- In a medium skillet, melt the remaining half of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook, breaking the sausage up with a wooden spoon until the sausage is browned and crumbly, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheddar cheese, jack cheese, diced chiles, and tomato. Add the sausage, stir to combine, and pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until set and cooked through and the top is slightly golden and puffy, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve.

This is INCREDIBLY delicious!! Besides just using 2 cups of Mexican Shredded cheese, I followed the recipe exactly. I topped my slice with a quarter of an avocado, lemon marinated cucumbers and a little squeeze of lemon. This is 100% getting added to our rotation!
Thanks, Hillary! Avocado is definitely a great addition.
Sounds WONDERFUL!! I am making this today!!
Tried this delicious breakfast casserole and it was absolutely delicious. The only thing you need to correct is in the ingredients. 4 oz of shredded cheese is 1 cup not .5 cup. So it’s either 2 oz or 4 oz.
We’re so glad you liked it! We have also updated the cheese ingredient quantity, thank you for pointing that out.
