Ingredients

For the sausage and veggies

1 pound no-sugar-added ground pork breakfast sausage or ground Italian sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing vegetables
1 cup red bell pepper seeded and diced, about 1 medium; use in moderation to keep carbs low
1 cup white mushrooms sliced
2 cups baby spinach roughly chopped and packed
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste, divided

For the eggs

8 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream to make the eggs soft and fluffy
1 tablespoon butter for cooking the eggs

For assembling the bowls

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite shredded cheese
1 medium avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced or diced
2 tablespoons sliced green onions optional, for garnish
2 tablespoons sugar-free hot sauce optional, to taste

Instructions

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground sausage, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 7 to 9 minutes, then transfer it to a plate and leave about 1 tablespoon of rendered fat in the skillet.
Add the olive oil to the same skillet with the rendered fat and heat over medium, then stir in the diced bell pepper and sliced mushrooms.
Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are crisp tender and the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with a pinch of the salt and pepper and cook, stirring, just until the spinach wilts, then remove the skillet from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and the remaining salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a clean nonstick skillet over medium low heat, add the butter, and swirl until melted and the pan is coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set to your liking, then remove from the heat to prevent overcooking.
To assemble the bowls, divide the sautéed vegetables evenly among four serving bowls, then top each with equal portions of sausage and scrambled eggs.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot bowls so it begins to melt, then add the sliced or diced avocado on top of each bowl.
Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and a drizzle of sugar free hot sauce if using, and serve immediately, or cool the sausage, vegetables, and eggs separately for meal prep and refrigerate for up to four days before reheating and adding fresh avocado.

Notes

For strict keto, verify that your sausage, cheese, and hot sauce are all free of added sugars and starch based fillers. To lower carbs further, reduce the amount of bell pepper and increase mushrooms or spinach. This recipe works well with alternate egg styles such as fried or soft boiled if you prefer not to scramble them. For easy meal prep, store sausage, vegetables, and eggs in separate airtight containers, reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, and add cheese, avocado, and garnishes just before serving.
