Cooking cue

Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and cut the keto bread into bite-sized cubes (about 9 per slice).
  2. 2. Spread the bread cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  3. 3. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and transfer the toasted bread into it.
  4. 4. Blend the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, milk, brown sugar substitute, almond extract, cinnamon, and protein powder on low-medium speed for about 10 seconds until smooth.
  5. 5. Pour the custard over the bread and use a spatula to press the bread down, ensuring every piece is coated.
  6. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  7. 6. Either bake immediately or cover and refrigerate overnight; bake at 350°F for 50 to 55 minutes until the custard is set.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
