Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs whole
  • 6 Egg Whites
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or cottage cheese
  • 1 lb Ham cooked and diced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup White Onion diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese low fat and shredded
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Sriarcha and sliced green onions for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch casserole dish by spraying lightly with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the eggs, egg whites and yogurt in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the ham, bell peppers, onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir together well.
  • Transfer the egg mixture to the casserole dish. Top with cheese then bake 25-28 minutes or until the casserole is done and the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 15 minutes before slicing and serve. Serve topped with sliced green onions and Sriracha.

Notes

  • Refrigerate: Store the egg casserole in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze: Make the casserole ahead of time and freeze for 3 months.
  • To thaw: Thaw in the refrigerator or place directly in the oven to heat.
  • To re-heat: Microwave a slice of Denver omelet for 30 seconds at a time until it is heated. You can also place slices on a sheet pan in the oven at 350 F for 10 minutes or until warm throughout.
