Ingredients

  • 2 slices High-protein / low-carb bread
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 30 g Vanilla whey protein powder
  • 120 g 0% Greek yogurt
  • 60 ml Unsweetened almond milk
  • Cinnamon & sweetener, to taste

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method

  1. Whisk the eggs, half the whey, milk and cinnamon into a custard.
  2. Soak the bread, then cook in a greased non-stick pan until golden both sides.
  3. Stir the remaining whey into the yogurt and dollop on top as a protein cream.

Storage & make-ahead

Fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months; reheat in a toaster or microwave. Great for batch breakfasts.

Tip

Use a dense high-protein bread so it soaks without falling apart. Tastes indulgent, eats clean.

Dietary swaps
