Keto Breakfast Hash

We love starting our day off with veggies and this is a simple way to pack them in! We're using smoked sausage as our protein in this recipe, but the dish is also delicious with crumbled breakfast sausage and diced ham.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces smoked sausage
  • 2 bell peppers any color
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • Oil as needed

Instructions

  • Slice t th sausage into thin rounds. Dice the peppers and onions.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter, melt, and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add the sausage to the skillet with the butter. Cook until browned on both sides, stirring and flipping occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • When the sausage has browned, remove it to a paper towel lined plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan, melt, and swirl to coat.
  • Add the vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but still somewhat crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • To make your eggs sunny side up, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet generously. When the oil is hot, carefully crack an egg into the skillet. Cook until the whites are no longer translucent and spoon hot oil over the yolk. Continue cooking until the whites are completely set, spooning more oil over the yolk every 30 seconds or so. Repeat with remaining eggs. Alternately, fry the eggs over-easy, over-hard, or over-medium as you prefer.
  • When the vegetables are tender-crisp, add the sausage back to the pan and stir. Top with the fried eggs.

Notes

This dish is perfect with a variety of vegetables (asparagus, radishes, broccoli, etc.) or another type of protein, such as crumbled breakfast sausage or diced ham.
When making ahead, we like to prepare the sausage and veggie portion and store in the fridge. While that is reheating in the microwave, we fry the eggs fresh. You can reheat eggs in the microwave, but it's not our favorite.
Shredded cheese sprinkled over the top is always a tasty addition.
