Meat
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Cook Ground Pork: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain most of the grease from the skillet and transfer the cooked pork into the bowl with the egg mixture.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet used for the pork, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened. Add the sautéed vegetables to the egg and pork mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly.
- Bake Casserole: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and set, and the center is just slightly jiggly. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Serve and Store: Divide the casserole evenly into 6 hearty servings. Enjoy immediately, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a spicier casserole, add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the vegetable mix.
- You can substitute ground pork with ground sausage or turkey if preferred.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner pieces.
- This casserole can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
- Use full-fat dairy ingredients to keep it keto-friendly.
