Breakfast Casserole: High protein, low carb!

[Virginia S 13]

I've always loved Breakfast casserole, but most of them are more bread than Protein. Not this one! One serving (and I could only eat 1/2 a serving) has 140 calories, 12g of protein and only 3g of carbs.

1 1/2 cups ham (cubed or shredded)

6 oz plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup crushed crackers (saltines/Ritz)

1/4 cup shredded cheese

2 tablespoons margarine

1 tablespoon finely chopped onion (I used onion flakes)

6 eggs

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8x8 pan.

Melt the margarine in a large bowl. Add the ham, yogurt, crackers, cheese and onion. Stir. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then stir into the first mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until center is firm. Let stand before serving. 9 servings.

I have to try this--I am getting really tired of turkeyburgers or fish for breakfast!

That sounds delicious! Can't wait to try it, but I'm still only one week post op, so still on liquids and slop! I crave meat, and cheese and onions together - so this recipe is just up my street. Thanks for sharing x

I tried this and it was AWESOME! I used Canadian Bacon style ham and chives for the onion. I also added a cup of fresh spinach. I forgot to put the cheese in it so I sprinkled it on top and that turned out YUM-O as well.

Best part is that Hubby loved it too so it's a chance to cook just once (which doesn't happen all the time post op).

Thanks for this!

Sounds great, can't wait to try it! I don't like cheese, any recommendations on what to substitute? Also, how does it taste reheated?

Thanks!

Kristina-

I accidently made mine without cheese and it worked just fine... because I like cheese I sprinkled some on top when it came out of the oven but it really didn't need it. Also, I had it the two following days for breakfast and it reheated great (30-40 sec). Enjoy!

Sounds delish. mmmmm spicy italian sausage....chives, ricotta...oh my (down girl!)

Haven't tried this recipe yet, but you could probably substitute crushed Pork rinds for the crackers and drop the carbs to virtually zero. Plus the pork rinds would add a slight bacony flavor, perfect for a breakfast casserole. Either way, this sounds yummy and I'm going to try it when I get to that stage. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this! I made it last night so I could try it this morning for breakfast!

Hubby tried it and LOVED it.... I have yet to try it! But, looks yummy.

I couldn't find the right size pan so I ended up making them into muffins with a cupcake pin & tins.
