3-Ingredient High-Protein Baked Breakfast (Fluffy & Filling)

🥣 Description

This ultra-simple baked breakfast is soft, fluffy, and surprisingly satisfying—all with just three ingredients. It’s perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or anyone looking to boost protein intake without complicated cooking. The texture lands somewhere between a soufflé and a light casserole, making it both comforting and energizing.

🧾 Ingredients (3 only)

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, high-protein)
  • ½ cup oats (rolled or quick oats)

🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Blend ingredients: Add eggs, Greek yogurt, and oats to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour into dish: Lightly grease a small baking dish and pour in the mixture.
  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  5. Cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.

🍽️ Servings

  • Makes 2–3 servings

📝 Notes

  • Texture will be soft and fluffy—similar to a baked custard.
  • For a firmer texture, bake a few extra minutes.
  • Works great as both sweet or savory depending on toppings.

💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for richer flavor and better texture.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid oat chunks.
  • Let it rest 5 minutes after baking—it firms up slightly.
  • For extra protein, you can replace part of the yogurt with cottage cheese.

🔄 Optional Add-Ins (still simple!)

(These don’t count toward the base 3 ingredients)

  • Sweet: honey, cinnamon, berries, vanilla
  • Savory: salt, pepper, spinach, cheese, herbs

❓ Q&A

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes—swap Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt (like coconut or soy), though protein content may drop.

Q: Can I prepare it ahead of time?
A: Absolutely. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave or oven.

Q: Can I freeze it?
A: Yes. Slice into portions, freeze, and reheat when needed.

Q: Why is my bake watery?
A: This usually happens if the yogurt is too thin. Use thick Greek yogurt and bake a bit longer.

Q: Can I make it sweeter without sugar?
A: Add mashed banana or a few dates before blending.
