Cauliflower Breakfast Skillet Casserole
Breakfast. It’s my favorite meal and this Cauliflower Breakfast Skillet Casserole is ALL I WANT tomorrow morning! #breakfastgoals
Last week I shared that I ran the Lady Track Shack 5K with the Cabot Fit Team and as part of my partnership with Cabot, I’m brining you this cheddar breakfast goodness today. As much as I love smoothies and oatmeal, egg breakfasts are probably at the top of my list.
I feel so much better physically when I get high quality sources of protein first thing in the morning, especially now that I’m back at CrossFit and lifting heavy again. My muscles literally crave foods that support recovery… THANKS eggs and cheddar.
This Cauliflower Breakfast Skillet Casserole is protein packed thanks to chicken sausage, eggs and Cabot cheese. LOVE this savory lower carb breakfast– I’m looking at you cauliflower!
Cooking in a cast iron skillet like this one, saves on clean up because it’s ovenproof! I’m all about one pan meals. How about you? Sauté all the veg and sausage in the skillet. Add the eggs and cheese and bake it in the oven– IN THE SAME SKILLET!!
Meal prep this recipe at the beginning of the week and store slices in airtight containers for a convenient breakfast on the go!

Would you be able to use all egg whites for this?
ohhhhh– haven’t tried it but if you do I’d def adjust the cooking time. Egg whites tend to cook a lot faster. If you make it with egg whites I’d love to know how it turned out for you.
