What’s in Easy Breakfast Casserole?
This healthy low carb breakfast is hands down, one of my easiest recipes! You’ll only need 6 ingredients plus salt & pepper! Start by preheating your oven to 350F.
Add in the eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper into a large mixing bowl and mix using a Hand Mixer for about 2 minutes, until combined and fluffy.
Stir in the ham, peppers, onions and a little less than half of the shredded cheese.
Pour the mixture into a 9″ x 13″ casserole baking dish that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray.
Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs have set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Mine took exactly 30 minutes.
Tips for Making Easy Keto Breakfast Casserole
- Use what you have-If you’ve made a ham for a special occasion or holiday dinner like Christmas or Resurrection Sunday, you might have some leftover ham to use up. This breakfast casserole will put that leftover ham to great use! But if you’re craving this casserole and don’t have leftovers to use, you can used shredded chicken, ground sausage or even hamburger meat.
- Make it in advance-If you know you’re going to be short on time, mix up all the ingredients and store in the fridge up to 24 hours in advance. You can just pour it in your casserole dish when you’re ready to bake it.
- Cheese of your choice– I use shredded cheddar cheese, but you can substitute with any cheese that melts easily, like Monterey Jack or Colby.
- Add you favorite veggies-I found these sweet little mini red bell peppers at the grocery store and decided to use them in the recipe as well. You can sub with any pepper you like, green, yellow or orange bell pepper, or even jalapeño pepper.

Hello,
I recently have found you and have been writing down your recipes. I’m going to start keto. All of the recipes I write down, list the macros and I’m assuming it is for the whole recipe or is it for a portion? If it’s for portions, I’m not seeing how much the portion is.
For instance, Easy Breakfast Casserole. 309 calories. Am I to eat the whole casserole?
Thank you,
Tammy

I can not eat peppers or onions of any kind any suggestions as to what I can add to add flavour
You can use just about any Keto friendly veggie that you like. Depending on what you use, you might have to precook it, before adding it into the casserole.
Do you have any suggestions for freezing?
The best way is in an airtight container or food saver bags.
I love this breakfast casserole. The peppers make this breakfast new and exciting.
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for letting me know!
