High Protein French Toast Casserole

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F to toast the bread, even if assembling for the next morning. Cut each slice of the 15–16 oz loaf into bite-sized chunks, about 9 cubes per slice.

   For this step

   • 1 loaf keto bread
2. 2

   Spread the cubed bread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast at 350°F for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, then transfer to the prepared casserole dish in the next step.

3. 3

   Lightly coat a 9×13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Transfer the toasted bread to the dish.

4. 4

   In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients. Blend on low-medium speed for about 10 seconds just until the cottage cheese curds are no longer visible and mixture is smooth.

   For this step

   • 4 eggs
   • 2 cups egg whites
   • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
   • 1 1/4 cup milk of choice
   • 1/2 cup brown sugar substitute
   • 1 teaspoon almond extract
   • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
   • 1 scoop protein powder
5. 5

   Pour the mixture over the bread and use a spatula to dip the bread into the custard mixture to ensure all the bread is evenly coated.

6. 6

   Bake right away or cover and refrigerate overnight to bake the next morning. Bake at 350°F for about 50–55 minutes, until the center is set and reaches 165°F; a chilled dish may need longer. Follow your baking dish’s instructions for moving it from refrigerator to oven. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting into eight portions.
