In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.
Easy is my middle name. I do love making fancy desserts on occasion but I greatly prefer recipes that only take a few minutes to put together. As a busy mom of five, there are so many other things I have to do besides just feeding my family.
A couple of weeks ago my kids had a snow day (again) so we decided to have breakfast for lunch. They would be happy to eat breakfast food for three meals a day. I would just need to rotate between eggs, pancakes, low carb waffles, cranberry orange muffins, and bacon. Nah, we always want bacon.
I decided to make my Sausage Egg Muffins into one big family-serve size. It is faster to make one big sausage and egg pie and easier to clean one pie plate afterward. For individual serve size, I recommend the original recipe.
How to Make a Sausage and Egg Pie
Step 1: Mix coconut flour into the raw sausage (I used Italian turkey sausage here) and press into the bottom of a greased pie plate.
If your sausage has the casings you will need to remove them. The easiest way to do this is to cut down the length of the sausage with kitchen shears.
Step 2: Crack some eggs on top and sprinkle with garlic salt or your favorite seasonings.
Step 3: Bake. Top with cheese. Bake a little more. Enjoy your Sausage and Egg Pie!
Tips & Substitutions for Sausage and Egg Pie:
- You can use ANY flavor of sausage. Sweet, spicy, turkey sausage, chicken sausage, pork sausage, any of those will work in these as long as they are raw. The cooked chicken sausages that just need to be reheated will not work. Make sure to watch for added sugar in any flavored sausage as well.
- You can also top this with any type of cheese. Both shredded and slices work well.
- I kept this recipe simple at just 5 ingredients but feel free to add in fresh herbs, vegetables, other types of meat, etc.
Additional Flavor Ideas:
Italian Sausage Egg Pie: Put a thin layer of no sugar added marinara sauce on top of the sausage before cracking on the eggs. Then use mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the baked pie with chopped basil or oregano.
Spicy Sausage Egg Pie: Use hot sausage and then use pepper jack cheese.
Veggie Sausage Egg Pie: Add a layer of lightly sauteed vegetables on top of the sausage. Peppers, onions, zucchini, broccoli, and spinach all taste great!
Finally, my Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese is similar to this but with classic New Jersey pork roll instead of sausage.

Can you freeze this after baking, or will it change the texture and taste?
Taryn says
I don't recommend freezing this recipe as is. It doesn't work well to freeze the egg white and yolk separately (as they are in this). BUT, if you don't mind blending them before adding them then you can freeze it. Quiche freezes well so this step would make this closer to a quiche.

Took this to a ladies meeting with our church. Most of it was gone! We ate the rest on Sunday for breakfast!!! My husband wants me to make it again for our family!!! Really good!!! Thank you!!
Holly says
I’ve made your individual sausage and egg cups, but this is a great idea too! So EASY and delicious!!
Mona Lisa says
Quick, easy, and delicious.
April says
Could this be made into individual muffins?
Taryn says
I actually have a recipe like that already. https://joyfilledeats.com/sausage-crusted-egg-muffins/
Ashley Hargett says
Could I use THM Baking Blend in place of the coconut flour and if so how much? Thanks in advance!
Taryn says
Yes. The same amount.
Andrea says
Hey there! Could I use almond flour instead of coconut, if I only have almond? Thanks! Your recipes sound so yummy! I've just made a list of a couple I want to try soon! 🙂
Taryn says
Yup! Use twice as much.
Andrea says
Okay! Great! Thanks much! 🙂
Eden says
Your thoughts on freezing this? I’m thinking it might freeze well if I use scrambled eggs.
Taryn says
Hmm..quiche does freeze well so if you do mix the eggs it should.
Naima Baig says
What size should a piece of pie for breakfast be?
Taryn says
The nutrition facts are for 1/8th of the pie. I just slice it across 4x like I'd cut a pizza to make 8 equal slices.
Jasmine says
You mentioned adding cream cheese to the eggs, how do you usually do that? I'm totally new to baking eggs but this sounds really yummy.
Taryn says
I have a recipe for that here:
We make it almost every weekend 😀
Crystal says
Where is the recipe or adding cream cheese?

Crystal says
Thank you!!
Lynnita says
Would it work if I scrambled the eggs with some 1/2 and 1/2 or cream and then poured onto the sausage?
Taryn says
Yup! I think its cool to see the yolks but you can definitely scramble the eggs if you prefer that. I like to add cream cheese to eggs for egg bakes.
Kathy says
Confused...ingredients call for coconut flour, method calls for coconut oil...??
Taryn says
So sorry! Coconut flour for both. I'll fix the typo asap.
Kathy says
Thank you!
