Keto Sausage Veggie Scramble (Print Version)

Savory sausage, fresh vegetables, and fluffy eggs combine for a low-carb morning fuel-up.

# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 5 oz pork sausage, crumbled (sugar-free, keto-friendly)

→ 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 (optional)
09 - 1 tablespoon butter

→ Spices & Seasonings

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

# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the crumbled sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
02 - Add the red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 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 Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you'd expect, making weekday mornings feel less like a rush and more like an actual meal.
  • The sausage does all the heavy lifting flavor-wise, so you're not eating something that tastes like you're being virtuous.
  • Your energy stays stable for hours instead of crashing at 11 AM.
02 -
  • Don't overcook the eggs—they'll continue cooking slightly after you remove the skillet from heat, so pull them off when they still look a touch soft and glossy.
  • Low heat is non-negotiable for the eggs; medium heat scrambles will make them dense and rubbery no matter how much cream you add.
03 -
  • Have everything chopped and ready before you start cooking—this dish moves quickly once the sausage hits the pan, and scrambling to dice vegetables midway changes the timing.
  • Use high-quality sausage without sugar or fillers, because that's where hidden carbs hide and where cheap ingredients really show up in the final taste.
