This protein french toast casserole is a delicious breakfast that tastes like a classic french toast bake but with an extra protein boost to keep you full and energized. Instead of a sugary morning that leads to a sugar crash, this version uses cottage cheese, whole eggs, and optional vanilla protein powder to add a serious protein boost. It’s perfect for weekends, special occasions, or even meal prep, since you can assemble it ahead and bake it the next morning.

Prep the baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit (skip if making overnight). Grease a 9x13 casserole dish with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
Mix the custard. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, milk of choice, cottage cheese, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar, and kosher salt until smooth. Tip: blend your cottage cheese up ahead of time if you do not like the texture of curds.
Prepare the bread. Slice brioche into 1-inch bread pieces, then add them to the baking dish, packing tightly into an even layer.
Add the egg mixture. Pour the custard evenly over the bread so every cube gets a good bread soak.
Bake. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown, the edges are crispy, and the center is custardy.
Serve. Top with fresh berries, maple syrup, or peanut butter. Serve warm.
