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.

How to make this recipe:

• Step 1: Oil a 12 cup muffin tin.
• Step 2: Roll out a tube of crescent roll dough.
• Step 3: Cut out 12 circles using a 3" cutter.
• Step 4: Fit circles into muffin tin.
• Step 5,6,7: Add cubed ham, eggs/cream, cheese to cups.
• Step 8: Bake until eggs are set.

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.
• Substitute other meats like bacon or sausage if desired. Turkey sausage or bacon will work also.
• Various cheeses may be substituted including colby, cheddar, monterey jack, etc. The recipe nutritionals are based on low-fat cheese.
