PIN Low-Carb No-Egg Sausage Mushroom Breakfast to make it later!

For many years a common recipe request has been for a low-carb breakfast that didn’t include eggs. And I get it; even though I like eggs I sometimes get tired of them too. But for a long time I had a hard time coming up with a tasty low-carb breakfast without eggs. Now this Cheesy Low-Carb No-Egg Sausage Mushroom Breakfast is the second idea I’ve had for a low-carb breakfast when you’re just tired of eggs!  

This time we combined nicely-browned mushrooms and links of turkey (or pork) breakfast sausage for a skillet breakfast that’s broiled to a state of cheesy goodness in the same pan we cooked the sausage and mushrooms in. A tasty one-pan breakfast without eggs, for the win, and there are only five ingredients!

If you like mushrooms, sausage, and cheese, I promise this is a breakfast idea that will really hit the spot when you get tired of eggs. And during January when many people are stricter on their carb-conscious eating plans it seems like a perfect time to feature this for Friday Favorites and remind you about this tasty no-egg breakfast option! Hope you enjoy!

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

• turkey breakfast sausage links 
• brown Cremini mushrooms 
• Olive Oil (affiliate link), divided
• grated Mozzarella cheese
• green onions (for garnish; optional)

How to Make Low-Carb No-Egg Sausage Mushroom Breakfast:

(Scroll down for complete recipe including nutritional information.)

1. Cook the turkey (or pork) sausage links over medium-high heat in a 12 inch cast-iron skillet (affiliate link) until they’re nicely browned. (Or use any frying pan that can go under the broiler.)
2. Remove the sausage to a plate, wash out the skillet if needed, add a little more olive oil, add washed and sliced mushrooms, and cook mushrooms until they’re starting to brown. Cook mushrooms until all liquid has evaporated.
3. Cut sausages into three diagonal pieces.
4. Layer sausage pieces over the mushrooms in the skillet.
5. Sprinkle the mushroom/sausage mixture with a generous amount of grated mozzarella and broil just until cheese has melted and is barely starting to brown. (This won’t take more than a couple of minutes; watch it carefully.)
6. Remove from broiler, top with sliced green onions, and serve.
7. This re-heated pretty well, but it was definitely best hot from the broiler, and it’s so easy to make that I’d probably make it fresh each time I wanted some.
