    This Low Carb Keto Frittata is super easy to make and so delicious! In my house we love preparing this at the start of the week and eating it for breakfast all week long. The peppers and onions combined with the fresh dill is so yummy and the breakfast sausage on top is the icing on the cake. This recipe only takes 10 minutes to prepare which means it is a great option for those mornings where you do not have much time to make breakfast.

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • First off, this recipe is so delicious and full of flavor! The savory breakfast sausage combined with the fresh peppers and onions is so good. 
    • This frittata is full of flavor while also super light.
    • I love making this for a well balanced breakfast. You have your vegetables and protein all in one!
    • My recipe is naturally low carb, keto, Whole30, paleo, gluten free, grain free and dairy free.
    • This recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare which makes it both a great weekday and weekend breakfast. I batch make it during the week so I can eat it all week long.
    • If you are into spinach and mushrooms with your eggs, you will want to check out my Spinach Mushroom Frittata!
    • You can make this frittata vegetarian by omitting the sausage. 

    Ingredients 

    Overhead shot of ingredients laid out in glass bowls on a counter.
    • Eggs-I prefer pasture raised eggs. This means the eggs are raised on a farm and they are able to freely roam rather than be all cooped up in a chicken coup. How the chickens are raised directly impacts the quality of the eggs they produce. Pasture raised eggs are more nutrient dense. 
    • Peppers & onions-For flavor. If you are feeling really over zealous here, you can even saute the onions and peppers prior to cooking them in the frittata. 
    • Breakfast sausage–I love the breakfast sausage from Butcher Box. They have the best quality stuff and it tastes the best too! If you order from my Butcher Box link, you will get free beef with every order!
    • Dill-For flavor.
    • Cooking oil spray-This will prevent the frittata from sticking to the pan. I like using the avocado oil spray from Costco. 

    See the full recipe card below with a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions And Variations

    • Peppers & onions-Any kind of vegetable will work! I have just found that this is my favorite egg frittata combination.
    • Breakfast sausage-You can also use bacon or turkey bacon. If you are making regular bacon check out how to make Bacon In The Instant Pot. If you are making turkey bacon, check out my go to cooking method for how to Bake Turkey Bacon In The Oven.
    • Feta-If you eat cheese, this recipe tastes great with added feta!
    • Vegetarian option-If you are vegetarian, you can omit the meat!

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, please let us know by leaving a comment below!

    Instructions

    Eggs, peppers, onions and sausage in a glass bowl.
    Step #1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Crack all of the eggs and whisk together. Chop all of the vegetables and sausage and add it to the bowl with the eggs. Mix until well mixed throughout.

    Step #2: Spray a cast iron pan with cooking spray oil. Then add the egg mixture in and bake for 40 minutes or until you can stick a fork in and there is no longer liquid in the middle.

    Equipment Needed

    • Cast iron skillet.
    • Glass mixing bowl.

    Expert Tips

    • Tip #1: Be sure to whisk the eggs well throughout so the yolks are broken apart.
    • Tip #2: If you have the time and want extra flavor, saute the onions and peppers prior to placing them in the frittata.
    • Tip #3: like to broil my frittatas a little at the end to get them nice and crispy on top. This is not a must but could be a fun touch to add. 

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make this vegetarian?

    Yes! Absolutely. If you are vegetarian, you can omit the sausage.

    What is the difference between a frittata and a quiche?

    A quiche has a crust to it, a frittata does not have a crust!

    Do I have to use a cast iron skillet?

    Nope! You can also use a casserole dish. Just note that a different size pan can impact the cooking times.
