Breakfast Casserole: High protein, low carb!

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.

Sounds great! I am going to try this in a few weeks when I get to the "eating" stage.

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!

That's kind of a great idea, especially if you like Pork Rinds...which, I LOVE. I can't wait to try it!

i made this receipe, and loved it so i decided to try it with a little twist. i made it for the whole family, and as i type my kids have just gone back for 2nds...they love it!

i didnt really messure anything.

i crumbled up 1 whole package of the ritz whole wheat crackers and just put them on the bottom of a 11 by 8 casserole dish

pour 8 oz of turkey sausage over the top

cut up 8 oz of canadian bacon and pour over top.

drop spoonfulls of greak yogurt over the top and spread.

sprinkle mexican cheese over the top (low fat is fine)

dice up red and green bell peppers and mexican onions about 1/2 cup total

melt 1/4 to 1/2 cup butter and pou on top

finally whip 10 eggs up and pour on the top of mixture.

you can sprinkle more low fat cheese on top

cook at 375 for 30-35 min (until center is solid)

serve you will get a thank you mom its great--plus you can eat it too!

i dont know all the carbs and cals but a 2 inch by 2 inch square filled up my sleeve plenty!

thank you for this wonderful receipe to start with!

i meant to say pour the onions and bell peppers on top as well :)

I make this all the time but I don't use margarine or crackers. I use different meats, like ground turkey or sausage. I also add spinach. Its a good way to get some vegs in...
