Notes
Top Tips for Making Healthy Keto Breakfast Casserole
- Make It Ahead of Time: This casserole only takes about half an hour to make from start to finish. But if you need to, you can put it in the fridge overnight so it’s ready to toss in the oven in the morning. If there is any left, it freezes well.
- Adjust the Eggs: The number I used for this keto breakfast egg casserole recipe is perfect, but feel free to adjust the amount of eggs you use depending on how dense or fluffy you like your casserole to be. Most recipes usually call for large eggs (especially if the recipe doesn't specify the size).
- Cool it Before Slicing: It is best to wait a few minutes to let the casserole cool down from the oven before serving. It makes slicing into the dish a whole lot easier!
- Layer the Ingredients Well: To ensure a more even cooking, place the ham (or other meats) and dense veggies (if using) at the bottom of the casserole dish, with the egg, cheese, and whipping cream mixture on top.
