Keto Ham Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Description
The Keto Ham Cheese Breakfast Casserole combines beaten eggs and heavy cream seasoned with salt and pepper as the base. Cubed cream cheese is dropped evenly into this custard mixture before sprinkling diced ham and shredded sharp cheddar on top. Baking in a greased casserole dish at 350°F sets the mixture over 30-40 minutes until it springs back when pressed, indicating doneness.
The presence of cream cheese adds richness and creamy texture inside the casserole, contrasting with the dense cooked eggs and chewy ham pieces. The top cheddar layer melts and browns lightly, contributing a sharp finish and slight crust. This casserole slices easily for serving and provides a protein-packed option for mornings.
For a cheesier top, additional shredded cheddar can be added near the end of the cooking time, ensuring it melts without overcooking the casserole. The straightforward preparation allows for adaptable ingredients or additions while maintaining balanced flavors.
Ingredients
- 12 egg extra large
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups ham diced
- 4 oz cream cheese cubed
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper together. Then pour the mixture in a greased 9x13" casserole dish.
- Drop the cubes of cream cheese evenly throughout the egg mixture.. Sprinkle the ham and cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is set and springs back when touched. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a more pronounced cheesy crust, add ½ to 1 cup extra shredded cheddar cheese on top 5 to 8 minutes before the casserole finishes baking.
