This recipe is just like a frittata or a crust-less quiche. It is a quick and easy recipe, and goes great with a salad, some fruit, or just a glass of orange juice in the morning. And it’s easy to reheat as well.
You’ll need lots of eggs – 8, to be exact. And this is one of the few brands of finished meats that I buy these days. If you like bacon, it is the best bacon brand around, in my humble opinion. You can easily replace the ham with ground pork, beef, turkey, or chicken.
Egg, Ham, and Cheese Bake
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
- 1 cup of yogurt (or any kind of soft cheese)
- 1 cup of chopped ham (you can substitute this with bacon, or another smoked meat – avoid nitrates and other additives)
- 2 chopped green onions (scallions)
- 1/4 cup of chopped jalapeno pepper (optional, if you like things hot and spicy)
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt
- additional salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl.
- Pour the mixture into an 8 inch baking pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is turning brown.

Looks healthy and so easy! Am going to have to try down this bacon you recommend. It’s a good idea to find “clean” sources of meat these days (especially bacon!)!
Hi Lauren!
PS I just read your technique for creating almond flour from blanched almond slices – great tip! Hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to link to it somewhere on comfy belly.
This is our favorite breakfast! We have used leftover ground turkey sausage patties and bacon for the meat. This makes great leftovers for hectic mornings as well.
Made this last night – very yummy! Having some for breakfast too
Love your website – I think this is the 3rd recipe I have tried and all three have come out great. Thank you so much for providing these great recipes!
I was wondering if your recommendation for bacon is SCD friendly?

When reading the ingredients, it seems to be but I am unsure about the lactic acid starter culture. Do you know by any chance?
Thx!
Melissa – I’m not sure about the lactic acid, and it’s not on this list: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_d-n.htm. Your best bet is to contact the company and find out what exactly it is, or what it’s derived from. The only thing I could find out is that it can be produced from milk or vegetables.
Thanks!
I actually laughed out loud when I saw the Preparation instructions (“Turn on oven, mix, and bake”)! This was delicious as it was quick and easy! Thank you, Erica, for a delicious start to Easter morning!!
Wouldn’t it be great if all recipes were this short and sweet? Happy Easter!
Looks really good. I love breakfast casseroles!
I just made this recipe – it was absolutely fabulous (and I’m not much of a fan of breakfast foods)!! I added some sauteed red onion, used greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan with 1/2 cup sharp cheddar. I topped my slice with chunky salsa and a dallop of sour cream. It’s taking everything in me to not go and grab another slice!! Thank you so much for this recipe!
