What ingredients do I need to make this Low Point Denver Egg Casserole?

• Large eggs or egg whites
• Skim or unsweetened almond milk
• Diced ham –I use John Morrell diced ham
• Red pepper, finely diced
• Green pepper, finely diced
• White onion, finely diced
• Light or fat free cheddar cheese – if you use fat free cheese the point will be lower. I usually use fat free or Trader joe’e lite three cheese blend.
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Toppings as desired-such as: diced avocado, hot sauce, salsa, or fat free sour cream/non fat greek yogurt for additional points.

How do you make this Low Point Denver Egg Casserole?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Cut, deseed, and dice the red and green peppers and onion.

Spray a skillet with non stick cooking spray; add green and red peppers, and onions.

Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until soft. 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended. Add diced ham, cheese, and cooked veggies. Whisk until combined. 

Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. 

Bake for 22-25 minutes or until puffy and set. ( Remove eggs from the oven before they are completely set since the heat from the dish will cause them to continue to cook for a few minutes once they are removed from the oven. Eggs are best when they aren’t over cooked. )

Slice into 6 even pieces. Serve with your favorite toppings.
