5Cheesy Italian Sausage & Egg Skillet
This hearty skillet combines spicy sausage, creamy eggs, and melted cheese for a satisfying keto start to your day.
How to make it
- 1
In a medium cast iron skillet, brown the ground Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as you go. Drain any excess fat if there is a lot, but a little fat is good for keto.
- 2
Once the sausage is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the full-fat cream cheese in small dollops around the skillet and let it soften, then stir it gently into the sausage until mostly melted and combined.
- 3
While the cream cheese is melting, whisk the eggs really well in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 4
Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sausage and cream cheese mixture in the skillet. Immediately sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese all over the top, and then scatter the chopped green onions.

Cover the skillet and let it cook on low for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking. The cheese should be gloriously melted and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious meal!
