Keto Sausage Veggie Scramble (Print Version)

A hearty low-carb scramble with savory sausage, vibrant veggies, and fluffy eggs for a filling start.

# What You'll 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 to 4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
02 - Add the red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 3 to 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.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's ready in 25 minutes, which means no stress even on mornings when you're running behind.
  • The heavy cream makes the eggs impossibly creamy without any weird additives or guilt.
  • You can swap vegetables based on what's in your fridge, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • Low heat is non-negotiable in the final stage; high heat scrambles eggs into little rubber pellets, and that's the one mistake that ruins this whole dish.
  • The eggs will look slightly underdone when you pull the pan off heat, but they keep cooking from residual warmth, so trust that moment of uncertainty and pull it back sooner than feels right.
03 -
  • Room-temperature eggs fold into the pan more gently and cook more evenly than cold ones straight from the fridge, so this small step pays dividends.
  • The smoked paprika is worth buying if you don't have it; it's the difference between a good scramble and one that tastes like you put real thought into it.
