Pro Tips

• Brown the sausage first and break it up as it cooks — even crumbles distribute through the pie so every slice gets meat in every bite.
• Drain any rendered fat from the sausage before it goes into the baking dish, or the pie will be greasy rather than rich.
• Rice the cauliflower finely so it blends into the egg base and adds body without chunky bits.
• Cook 15–20 minutes depending on how set you like it — less time for a custardy center, more for a firm pie that packs well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make it ahead?

Yes — it refrigerates for 4 days and slices cleanly from the fridge. It's a meal-prep favorite for a reason.

What sausage works best?

Any good pork sausage. Mild or spicy both work — the garlic powder and basil season the egg base either way.

Is it keto?

Yes — 5.1g net carbs and 22g protein per serving, with the sausage supplying satisfying fat.

Can I make it in the oven?

Yes — bake the assembled dish at 350°F until the center is set, roughly 35–40 minutes depending on depth.
