Ingredients

Serves: 8 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Crust

• ¾ lb ground beef
• ¾ lb breakfast sausage
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• ½ cup onion, minced
• ¼ cup chopped basil
• ¾ teaspoon oregano
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Omelet

• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoon coconut milk
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ⅛ cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tablespoon chives, chopped

How to Make Omelet with Sausage Crust

Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Combine together in a bowl the ground beef, sausage meat, eggs, onion, basil (keep 1 tablespoon of the basil for the omelet filling), oregano and season to taste. Set 1 cup of the mixture aside.

Line the rest of the mixture in a round 10-inch pie plate as you would a normal crust by pressing everything together firmly.

Bake the crust for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

Meanwhile, sauté the reserved meat mixture in a bit of cooking fat until well cooked. Let cool.

Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.

Combine the eggs, coconut milk, onion powder and red bell peppers in a bowl with a whisk. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Pour the egg mixture over the cooled sausage crust and then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup basil and sausage mixture as well as the chopped chives and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
