How to Microwave Sausage and Eggs KETO Breakfast
- Make sure to have your raw sausage crumbled into small pieces, NOT In one big chunk. The crumbled or flattened sausage will cook quicker. There’s so many different types of breakfast sausage or you can also you bulk uncooked Italian sausage.
- Add your egg or eggs and cook on our base timing. Add additional 15 second increments to cook the eggs to your preferred timing.
- Cover the bowl so you don’t have splattering sausage oil or egg all over your microwave.
- You can also use pre-cooked kielbasa sausage. Just cut the sausage into slices and heat the kielbasa sausage for about 30 seconds or more, depending on how thick you cut it. Then the oil that’s released will help the eggs cook.

Notes
- 600-800w – Lower Wattage Microwaves: More time often needed
- 900-1100w – Average Wattage Microwaves
- 1200-1300w – High Wattage Microwaves: Less time often needed
- Microwave safe glass (particularly borosilicate glass) & ceramic containers are the recommended choice. *Do not use cracked or otherwise damaged containers.
- Microwave safe plastic containers are considered safe by the FDA but many health organizations caution against using them.
- Never use plastics (containers, bags, wrap, etc.) that are not labeled microwave safe. Never use styrofoam, metal, or aluminum foil.
- Lids – microwave safe glass, ceramic or silicone is best. A microwave safe plate works great as a lid. Parchment paper, wax paper, or paper towels work fine, but may not hold the steam in as much (many recipes benefits from the steam retention). Microwave safe plastic lids are considered acceptable. Usually we prefer to use a lid from glass, ceramic, or silicone and just use the microwave safe plastic lids that come with the containers for storing.
