I don’t usually post on Sunday, but as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’m in Costa Rica! It’s lovely here and tomorrow when I’d usually be sharing a recipe I’ll be leaving way early in the morning to go on a river cruise. So tonight while I have a minute I’m reminding you about this favorite breakfast casserole. If you’re one of the many people who are starting a low-carb eating journey today or tomorrow, you definitely should try this recipe.
This breakfast casserole is loaded with low-carb ingredients, plus I think trying to eat vegetables with every meal is one of the best healthy eating tips ever, and I’ve made this quite a few times to keep in the fridge for several days of tasty breakfasts. I’ve enjoyed it in a flatter version and also in the version in these photos which has a bit more broccoli, ham, and egg, and I’ll give a range in the recipe so you can decide which version you want. But if you like broccoli, ham, and mozzarella, give this a try; so many people on Pinterest seem to be liking it!

117 Comments on “Broccoli, Ham, and Mozzarella Baked with Eggs”
I found this recipe when I was trying to find recipes that were healthier. My (picky) kids love it and we make it a lot. It has helped me show them that broccoli isn’t bad and I can now get them to eat it a couple ways.
So glad you and the kids are enjoying it.
Hi, Can this be frozen and heated up frozen?
Some people freeze this type of egg casserole. But it releases a lot of water when it thaws, and personally I don’t like to freeze them. It will keep in the fridge at least a week though and reheats beautifully from there.
Question – could you assemble this the night before and cook it in the morning, or would the broccoli get too soft?
I don’t think the broccoli will get soft, but you’d need to let it come to room temperature before you bake it or I think the cooking time will be off.
Hi Cassandra! I was wondering if you tried making this the night before and how it turned out?
Thanks!
I’ve made this about 6 times now and it’s delicious! We eat it for several days for breakfasts. My go to is pepper jack cheese since we use so much mozzarella cheese for other things like chaffles. We love Spike in anything with eggs. This week I had some left over roasted hatch green chiles so I threw those in. They added a great flavor. Thanks so much for this recipe!!
So glad you are enjoying it so much!
6 Cups of Broccoli ?
Yes. The introduction says “This low-carb breakfast casserole has a lot of broccoli, ham, and Mozzarella baked with just enough eggs to hold it together!” Of course you can use less broccoli if you prefer.
I’ve made this a few times now and we love it. I tried it with pepper jack cheese this time & it was fantastic. I’m in love with Spike. Thanks for turning me on to it & thanks to Amazon for having it!
So glad you are enjoying it! Yes, Spike is fantastic in this type of recipe!
I’ve got this in the oven at this very moment. I had all ingredients except the green onion. I used a little red onion. I try to secretly incorporate as many keto friendly options into my husbands diet as possible. He has a serious sugar addiction and keto friendly dishes like this keeps his sugar in check.
Hope you and the husband will enjoy!
This is a favorite breakfast dish that I make often for work or on the weekend. It never gets old.
So glad you’re enjoying it!

Thanks for the great recipe! Do you think it would work in a crockpot?
I have some egg recipes on the site like this one that use the Casserole Crock Slow Cooker, and that’s the slow cooker I think will be best for this type of recipe. But if you have a large oval slow cooker that will probably work. It will probably be a bit thicker so the cooking time might be a bit longer than the Casserole Crock. Let me know how it works!
This was pretty good. My 4yo didn’t love it, even with ketchup. However my 1yo destroyed it. This was easy to make and I used a frozen bag of broccoli which I cooked half way through. The result was broccoli in the casserole which was slightly crunchy not soggy at all.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for info about using frozen broccoli.
Thanks for reminding me about this dish. I didn’t comment when I first made this, but it really was incredibly tasty. I diced-up a thick slice of lower-sodium ham (Krakus Polish Ham) which I bought at the deli counter, since less sodium is always a good thing. I used 1/2 of the amount of real eggs, and the same equivalent of “Egg Beaters”….in order to make this healthier. I always use light sour cream. BTW, thanks Kalyn, for turning me on to spike Seasoning! I found it at my local health food store. I bought the one w/o sodium, so that I can adjust the sodium in whatever I’m making. This stuff is TERRIFIC, and I’m now obsessed with it.
So glad you have enjoyed it and glad you’re now a fan of Spike Seasoning. I think it’s good in so many things!
Easy to prepare, taste good, and very filling
So glad you enjoyed it!
Funny this recipe should come up again, I had the older one open in another tab! I made this recipe for my baby’s 1st birthday dinner because he could live off scrambled eggs, it seems. It was delicious and all I changed was almost fully cooking the broccoli beforehand to make sure it was soft enough.
So fun that happened; glad you enjoyed it!
