This recipe is highly customizable, so you can change out the type of cheese, peppers and even the ham.  You can make whatever combination you like, maybe bacon instead of ham, or sausage. Simply use what you have on hand to make it easy!

This gluten-free breakfast casserole also freezes beautifully! So if you have extra portions leftover, you can freeze them for later.

Ingredients Needed to Make Keto Breakfast Casserole

  • Whole eggs
  • Diced ham
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Heavy cream
  • Red bell pepper
  • Onions
  • Salt
  • Pepper

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

What's in Easy Keto 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.

Tips for Making Easy Keto Breakfast Casserole

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!

glass bowl with diced ham

Similar to Thanksgiving, when you make this large turkey and inevitably have some leftover, but aren't sure what to do with it. It's often the same situation with ham.

In addition to ham, I also use shredded cheddar cheese, but you can substitute with any cheese that melts easily, like Monterey Jack or Colby. If you don't have any ham to use, you substitute with sausage or bacon, whichever you have on hand.

white bowl with mini red peppers

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.

What's really great about casseroles, is they are super easy to put together and can often be made ahead of time!  They're great for meal prep, because they often make a fair number of servings.  Most often they freeze really well, which can be a great time saver!

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.

The best way is in an airtight container or food saver bags.
