Meat Lover’s Personal Breakfast Casseroles with Sausage Crust (gluten free, low carb, high protein & low calorie)

This is a mish mash of meatza and quiche done breakfast style.  You get sausage, cheese, bacon, eggs, & some veggies all at a reasonable calorie count-yay!!

Ingredients:

1/2 of a roll of pork breakfast sausage

3/4 cup fresh baby spinach (chopped or torn and packed tightly into the measuring cup)

1 1/2 cups egg whites

3 slices center cut bacon (cooked & crumbled)

3 slices Cracker Barrel Cracker Cuts 2% extra sharp cheddar (or 80 calories worth of another kind of cheese)

Preheat oven to 375.

Divide sausage evenly into the 3 soufflé dishes.  Press down all along bottom evenly to create a bottom crust for your casseroles.  Bake in oven for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and blot tops of sausage crusts gently to remove some of the fat.  Then layer 1/4 cup spinach, 1/2 cup egg whites. 1 slice bacon and 1 slice cheese into each pan.

Bake for another 30 minutes.  Be careful because these will be very hot. Please allow to cool for 15 minutes before eating or dump them onto a plate if you are impatient & want to eat right away. You can also make the night before & reheat in microwave. I made these into cute little personal portioned servings but you could also make it in a regular pie pan. I can’t be sure on exactly how long it will take to cook that way as I have only made it in soufflé pans but they are done when eggs are firm.
