Ingredients

1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 pound Black Forest or smoked Deli ham chopped
2 tablespoon butter
7 eggs
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a skillet, saute green peppers and chopped deli ham until the peppers begin to soften, and the ham is nice and browned.
Grease a 9 X 13 casserole dish.
Place the ham and peppers in the casserole dish.
In a bowl, combine the beaten eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper and whisk until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour egg mixture over the ham and green peppers then sprinkle cheese on top. Use a fork to stir ingredients around to make sure that all of the ham is covered with the egg and cheese mixture.
Bake for 20-23 minutes, depending on how done you like your eggs.

Notes

Can this Breakfast Casserole be made ahead?

Yes, you can assemble this casserole then put it in the fridge to bake within 48 hours. You can also assemble then freeze to bake later. Make sure if you freeze it to wrap with saran wrap first, then aluminum foil. I prefer to use disposable aluminum pans for make-ahead freezer meals.

How to Store Keto Breakfast Bake

This recipe can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-5 days. To freeze, I divide into individual servings then wrap each one in saran wrap. Once they are wrapped, I put them in a freezer-safe container and freeze up to 3 months. The individual servings can be taken out and heated in the microwave for a quick and easy delicious breakfast. You could also freeze the entire casserole.

Tips and Hints

Tip 1: This keto breakfast 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.

Tip 2: You can use other cheeses besides cheddar. You may prefer to mix it half and half with cheddar and mozzarella depending on your taste preferences. Or, you could bring a little spice with Pepper Jack Cheese.

Tip 3: You could also change it up and customize to your personal preferences. You could easily add bacon or sausage, or substitute either of them for the ham.

Tip 4: Throw in a little diced onion, spinach, and/or mushrooms. You may want to substitute jalapeno peppers for the bell peppers to add a little spice.
