PIN this breakfast without eggs to make it later!

For many years I had readers requesting a low-carb breakfast that didn’t include eggs, and for a long time I had a hard time coming up something. So I was excited when this tasty Sausage Mushroom Breakfast without Eggs popped into my mind, and now this 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 that will really hit the spot. 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 breakfast option! Hope you enjoy!

We used turkey breakfast sausage links for this recipe, but you can definitely use pork breakfast sausage links or turkey or pork patty sausage to make it.

Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas are another fun breakfast idea that’s a favorite of my sister Pam who’s not a fan of eggs. And if you don’t mind a few more carbs, I love Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Oatmeal or Slow Cooker Apple Pie Oatmeal for a no-egg breakfast that’s an occasional treat.

How to make Sausage Mushroom Breakfast without Eggs :

(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

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.
