Tomato and Ham Breakfast Casserole

My healthy version is to substitute fat free 1/2 & 1/2 for heavy cream, 1 c. eggbeaters for 4 eggs and reduced fat cheddar. Also I have added dill weed or nutmeg for favor.

It's a sturdy type loaf - it maybe called artisian at your store. Usually, not sliced. Don't worry about what country.

What is "country bread" and from which country should it come?

HopeO...I have made similar recipes and usually use Eggbeaters or similar. Usually I am making 3 casseroles so it is easier than cracking 24-36 eggs! You can also use milk instead of heavy cream. I use 2% and 2% cheese. You can also get lean ham or take that our and use veggies.

I love this! I made it today without the meat, added mushrooms instead. For those worried about calories, you only need a small amount as it is so rich. I ate mine with some crisp green spinach - a first for breakfast!

glorybees7: Oh, yeah, you can even add some spinach for an extra kick (unless you hate spinach). If you can't stand doing nonfat milk, in a recipe like this you can also 1 c. low fat milk + 1 c. fat free cottage cheese. I would like this now!

This sounded so yummy I wanted to eat it right away, BUT I clicked to check out the nutrition facts and right away was totally turned off. What could be substituted to make this more healthy and no longer a heart attack on the plate?
