How to make a sausage and peppers breakfast without eggs:
(This is just a summary of the steps for the recipe; scroll down for the full printable recipe. Or if you use the GO TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the full recipe.)
- Cut a red pepper and a green pepper into pieces of about 2.5 cm in diameter. (You can use any color pepper.)
- Place the peppers in a sprayed baking dish, sprinkle with a little olive oil, Spike herbs (affiliate link), and black pepper and start roasting in a hot oven.
- Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan and fry the sausages until nicely browned on all sides for about 10-12 minutes.
- When the sausage is nicely browned, cut each piece into thirds so that you have bite-sized pieces of sausage.
- After the peppers have roasted for 20 minutes, add the sausage to the bowl and cook for another 5 minutes. (Or longer if you don’t like a little crunchy pepper, like me.)
- While the sausage is browning, measure out 1/2 cup of mozzarella (or more).
- Set the oven to BROIL and sprinkle mozzarella over the sausage-pepper mixture.
- Broil until the cheese is completely melted and starting to brown, about 2 minutes for my grill. (Pay close attention, especially if your grill is quite hot.)
- Serve the Breakfast with Sausage and Peppers Without Egg hot and enjoy!
- I divided my leftovers into serving bowls and it heated up nicely in the microwave.
Make it a low-carb meal:

Comments
I used pre-cooked turkey breakfast sausage when I originally made this. If you use uncooked turkey breakfast sausage, you will need to cook it a little longer.
For low-carb or Keto diets, use pork sausage, or whichever higher fat sausage you prefer. Be sure to look for gluten-free sausage if necessary.
This keeps well in the refrigerator, so don’t be afraid to double the recipe if you have a larger baking dish. I pack mine in individual refrigerator containers and reheat in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes the next morning.
This recipe was created by Kalyn after years of people asking for a breakfast that was low in carbs, but without eggs.
