This recipe originally published August 2014, now updated with new photos, pro tips and more.

Breakfast casserole can be a landmine of calories with all the cheese, sausage,etc., but it's definitely a family favorite! I wanted to try to make this low calorie breakfast recipe that could fit into a healthy diet scheme without sacrificing the taste. Enter breakfast casserole in muffin form! I traded out the sausage for lean ham and kept most of the other ingredients intact.

The key here is mainly good ole portion control- only 100 calories in each muffin! Kids will love these too, so make extra batches to feed everyone. I make mine on the weekend and freeze them. Just pop them in the toaster oven or the microwave then hit the road! Looking for a low carb muffin? Check out these Low Carb Ham and Egg Cups!

Why this recipe works:

  • Uses breakfast favorites like ham, cheese and eggs for great flavor.
  • Muffins make portion control easier.
  • Easy to switch it up- try sausage, bacon or any type cheese you prefer.

The main ingredients:

  • Crescent roll dough- found in the cold food area of the grocery.
  • Ham- use pre-diced ham to save time. Use lunch meat ham if desired.
  • Eggs- use large eggs.
  • Cream- use whipping cream or half and half.
  • Cheese- use your favorite. The recipe calories are based on low fat cheese.

Expert tips:

  • Use either perforated crescent roll dough or a sheet of dough.
  • Roll dough out to a 15" x 11" rectangle. This will give you plenty of space to cut out 12 circles.
  • I used large eggs. If using smaller eggs, add an extra egg.

    I'm a little confused. The nutrition facts list the serving size as 1g. How many grams are in a muffin? Does this mean 9g carbs in one muffin or half a muffin or...?

      Hi Prairie,
      Not sure why it is showing 1gm but the serving size is 1 muffin, so 9gm carb per muffin. Thanks for visiting Easyhealth Living!

    Hi,

    Your recipe calls for 1/2 tbsp of cream but in the ingredient picture it seems like way more. Is 1/2 tbsp correct?

      Hi,
      Yes it is 1/2 Tablespoon. (The bowl in the picture is very small!)

      I have never made this recipe with egg beaters, but I think that would work fine. Thanks for visiting!

    I have just made these. I used 2% milk instead of cream and found it worked just fine. I love how they turned out and will be a welcome addition to my breakfast menus.
    I might add chopped tomatoes or red peppers to the next batch I make and see how it turns out.
