Morning Meatloaf {Ketogenic + Low-Carb Friendly}
Is it really morning without eggs or some kind of breakfast meat cooking in a skillet? Well, yeah, probably for most of us. But there’s something special about that kind of situation happening on a lazy Sunday morning and for most of us, that’s totally doable.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 6 large eggs
- 1 lb, uncooked ground sausage
- 1/4 cup, chopped yellow onion
- 4oz cream cheese, room temperature, divided
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 2 tbsp chopped scallions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Grease small loaf pan with some ghee.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the sausage, onion, and half the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour the meatloaf and egg mixture into the loaf pan. Add to the oven and bake, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until stiff.
- Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Some fat may have risen to the top and begun to cool. You can use a spoon to lightly scrape it off (it should come right off without ruining the meatloaf top.)
- Spread the remaining cream cheese over the top of the meatloaf, then top it with cheddar cheese and scallions. Add the meatloaf back to the oven.
- Bake for about 5 more minutes, then switch to Broil for about 2-3 or until the cheddar cheese begins to golden and crisp.
- Remove from oven, and let your morning meatloaf sit for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
