Let’s Walk through it Step-By-Step!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Cut the bread into cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer the slices of lean turkey breast on top of the bread cubes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, almond milk, Dijon mustard, sugar-free maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Pour 2/3 of the egg mixture evenly over the bread and turkey in the baking dish, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each slice of turkey breast in the baking dish.

Pour the remaining egg mix over the bake

Sprinkle corn flakes evenly over the top of the egg mixture in the baking dish

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Once done, remove the breakfast bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. When serving, optionally top with powdered zero-calorie powdered sweetener and sugar-free raspberry jam.

The Benefits of High-Protein Breakfasts

Starting your day with a high-protein breakfast offers numerous benefits:

Sustained Energy: Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels, providing sustained energy and preventing mid-morning crashes.
Satiety: High-protein meals keep you feeling fuller for longer, reducing the likelihood of unhealthy snacking later in the day.
Muscle Maintenance: Consuming adequate protein supports muscle repair and growth, especially important for those who are active or aiming to build muscle.
