There are a lot of Low-Carb Breakfast Casseroles on my blog, and yet I somehow keep thinking up new combinations with eggs, meat, veggies, and cheese that turn out to be amazing. This Low-Carb Italian Sausage and Sweet Mini-Peppers Breakfast Bake was such a perfect combination of flavors that Jake and I couldn't stop talking about how good it was when we tested the recipe.

There were a couple of things that made this a winner for me. Of course, I used my favorite Jenni-O Turkey Italian Sausage that's been the starting point for so many recipes on this site. (And of course Jenni-O hasn't paid me to promote their sausage, and I doubt they even know I've given them such a massive shout-out, but I love, love, love this sausage. There are a lot more turkey sausage ideas at that link if you're also a fan.)

The recipe also uses Sweet Mini Peppers, another ingredient I love (and I just used both turkey Italian Sausage and sweet mini peppers in the Low-Carb Roasted Italian Sausage and Sweet Mini Peppers Sheet Pan Meal I shared last week, if you're also a fan of both.) In this breakfast bake we cut the mini pepper crosswise to make rings, which I thought was pretty, and I loved the sweetness they added.

This breakfast bake also has rinsed and drained cottage cheese curds (for extra protein and creaminess), grated Mozzarella cheese, a little Parmesan for the top, a few green onions, and just enough eggs to hold it together. If you like those flavors; I hope you'll give this one a try! And Mother's Day is coming up soon, and I think this would be perfect as a brunch dish if your mom likes these flavors.
