Okay okay, this is actually as good as it looks! If you loooooveeee a classic French toast casserole but don’t necessarily enjoy the heavy, sugar-loaded crash that comes with them… this high-protein Gingerbread French Toast Casserole is JUST FOR YOU! It tastes just as rich, warm, and cozy as the traditional version but instead leaves you feeling SO satisfied and light, NOT sluggish.

This one took me a few tries to perfect, so I can confidently stand behind the final result. I made the custard with cottage cheese + Greek yogurt, which bakes into the most tender texture and is perfect for Christmas morning or any holiday brunch. Enjoy it as-is or drizzle with maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
