16 Nov Low Carb Breakfast Casserole, Gluten Free, Primal

I’ve been living the Whole30 and Paleo life (with some cheats here and there) for quite some time now.  The thing I miss the most is cheese. I can do without sugars, and I’m fine with substituting coconut milk for cow’s milk in almost every instance. I even made some Cashew “Cheese” that went wonderfully with my Spaghetti and Zoodles last week (recipes coming soon!) But there are just some times when some good, full-fat cheddar cheese is necessary. This is one of those times. If you’re strictly Whole30 or Paleo, the recipe will still work without the cheese, or you can stop here and take a look at my Whole30 BLT Wraps or Homemade Breakfast Sausage. But if you’re open to incorporating a little dairy into your diet or following a Primal or low-carb way of life, read on, because this Low Carb Breakfast Casserole is magic. You can thank me later. 🙂
