Protein Breakfast Bakes
All versions make 2 servings. Mix ingredients together, pour into greased loaf pan (approximately 4”x8”). All version bake at 350F for 14-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Do not overbake. Serve warm (or cold) with whipped cream, Greek yogurt, or maple syrup. Can be kept in the refrigerator, covered, for up to a week. (The flaxseed is optional, and is a great way to boost your Omega-3 fatty acid level. When you use the flaxseed, one portion has 1.3 grams of O-3 fatty acids, which is approximately the same as 4 fish oil capsules!)
