Unfortunately, most tasty breakfasts are not overly healthy. Below are a few awesome recipes with options. Plus a great YouTube with even more! Ham & Cheese Breakfast Casserole Makes: 6 servings To make ahead: Prepare casserole through Step 2; refrigerate overnight. Let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats. Bake as directed in Step 3. This healthy update of a traditionally rich ham-and-cheese breakfast strata is made lighter primarily by losing a few egg yolks and using nonfat milk. Gruyère cheese has a delicious, nutty aroma and flavor, which means that with the relatively small amount in this recipe you still get a big impact. To finish the makeover use nutritious, fiber-rich, whole-grain bread instead of white. Results in plenty of flavor, half the calories and one-third the fat of the original. 4 large eggs 4 large egg whites 1 cup nonfat milk 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 5 cups chopped spinach, wilted (see Tip) 4 cups whole-grain bread, crusts removed if desired, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1/2 pound, 4-6 slices) 1 cup diced ham steak (5 ounces) 1/2 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese 1.
