Frequently Asked Questions and Recipe Suggestions
FAQ
- Can I make this ahead?
Yes. Cook the base (sausage, cauliflower rice, spinach) and refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat and add fresh eggs when serving. - Is this recipe strictly keto?
Yes. Net carbs per serving are low due to cauliflower and spinach; eggs and sausage provide protein and fat. - Can I use ground beef instead of sausage?
Yes — use 1 lb (450 g) ground beef; adjust seasoning since beef lacks sausage spices. - What if I don’t eat dairy?
Omit the cheese or replace with a keto-friendly dairy substitute. Flavor may be slightly different. - How many carbs per serving?
Approximately 5–7g net carbs per serving depending on brands and exact portion sizes. - Can I freeze this?
Freeze the base (without eggs) in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating and adding eggs. - What sides pair well with this meal?
A simple green salad, keto pickles, or avocado slices complement this skillet. - Is this meal budget-friendly for one person?
Yes — scaling to 2 servings lowers cost per plate; leftovers reheat well for meal prep. - Can I make it vegetarian?
Replace sausage with seasoned tempeh crumbles or a firm tofu scramble; adjust fat with olive oil or butter. - How do I keep yolks runny without overcooking the base?
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and check eggs at 4 minutes; residual heat sets whites while yolks stay soft.
