All the delicious sweet and savory flavors in a Monte Cristo sandwich, are now baked up into a gooey, warm keto Monte Cristo breakfast casserole! This low carb breakfast casserole is so worth it!
Monte Cristo sandwiches have lots of variations, but there are a few similarities.
Monte Cristo sandwiches have ham and cheese (either gruyere or provolone). For condiments, the bread is normally spread with mustard and mayonnaise.
When melting the butter in the oven, be sure to remove the pan as soon as the butter is melted. If left in too long while the oven is preheating, the butter may burn. I may or may not know this by experience…
When you pour the bottom egg layer, be sure to only pour in enough to cover the bottom of the pan. You want it to cook quickly so you’re not waiting to finish the casserole.
Don’t overcook the bottom egg layer. You’re going for a creamy, soft cooked feel. If it’s overcooked, it will change the texture and also taste more eggy.
If you prefer gruyere over provolone, use gruyere instead! This recipe is flexible. You can also use any type of jam, but raspberry and blackberry are the typical varieties used. You can also use turkey instead of ham, or a combination of turkey and ham.
If you need a sugar free jam, look for my product links underneath the recipe card.
Add a dollop of jam on the top of each serving if you like!
