Why this works

High in protein and very low in carbohydrates, but relatively high in saturated fat and sodium due to the ham and cheddar.

Protein-rich. Eggs, Greek yoghurt, ham and cheddar provide a strong protein contribution, supporting satiety and muscle maintenance.

Calcium source. Cheddar and Greek yoghurt supply calcium, which is important for bone health.

Sodium and saturated fat. Ham and cheddar make this dish fairly salty and higher in saturated fat, so portion size matters if watching heart health.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (Fan 170°C, 374°F, Gas Mark 5) and lightly butter a small baking dish or quiche dish.
  2. Dice the ham and grate the Cheddar cheese.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the Greek yoghurt until smooth, then stir in most of the Cheddar, the ham and chopped parsley.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and scatter over the remaining Cheddar.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set in the centre and golden on top. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
