Recipe Notes and Tips

  • You can also make this breakfast egg casserole in a 9 x9 baking dish if you use 9 eggs.
  • Grease your baking dish before adding in the egg mixture so that it doesn’t stick.
  • Bake the casserole in a fully preheated oven so that it cooks through evenly.

Can you make it ahead of time?

Yes! This low carb egg casserole is a great make-ahead breakfast. Once you have baked it, let it cool and keep it covered in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. Reheat it, covered with foil, at 325F for around 15 minutes until heated through to serve.

You can also beat the eggs and saute the vegetables and store them in separate containers in the refrigerator overnight. Simply add them to a casserole dish in the morning, add the chopped ham and shredded cheese, and bake in the oven. Easy & quick overnight egg bake casserole.

Use fresh eggs

The eggs in this breakfast casserole are the main ingredient, so make sure that they are fresh, and buy local if you have that option. Check that the eggs are fresh by placing them in a large bowl of water. If the eggs are fresh they will sink to the bottom of the bowl. Discard any that float to the top.

Recipe Variations

You can easily adapt this healthy egg bake recipe to suit your tastes. Add in other veggies like mushrooms or spinach, or swap the ham for cooked sausage or bacon. I used cheddar cheese, but any shredded cheese will work well.
