High-Protein Zucchini & Carrot Egg Bake……

Fat: ~6g

Q1: Can I skip the protein powder?
Yes. You can skip it, but protein per slice will be lower. To compensate, add 1–2 extra eggs or increase cottage cheese by ½ cup.

Q2: Which protein powder works best?
Unflavored whey or plant-based protein works best. Avoid sweet or vanilla flavors—they will ruin the savory taste.

Q3: Do I need to squeeze the zucchini?
Yes, especially if zucchini is very watery. Squeezing prevents a soggy bake and helps it set properly.

Q4: Can I make this gluten-free?
It already can be! Just use oat flour labeled gluten-free or replace with almond flour.

Q5: Can I replace cheddar cheese?
Absolutely. You can use mozzarella, feta, or a light cheese blend. Feta gives a Mediterranean flavor.

Q6: Is this recipe good for weight loss?
Yes 👍
It’s high-protein, low-carb, and very filling—great for breakfast, meal prep, or a light dinner.

Q7: Can I make it dairy-free?
You can try dairy-free yogurt, dairy-free cottage cheese alternatives, and vegan cheese, but texture may change slightly.

Q8: How do I store leftovers?
Store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Q9: Can I freeze it?
Yes. Slice, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.

Q10: Can I add more vegetables?
Yes! Spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions work well. Just don’t add too many watery veggies.

Q11: What can I serve it with?

• Side salad

• Yogurt dip

• Avocado slices

• Whole-grain toast (if not low-carb)

Q12: Why is my bake too soft inside?
Possible reasons:

• Too much moisture in zucchini

• Underbaked (add 5–10 more minutes)

• Low protein powder or flour amount
