These Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Protein Squares make a great high protein make ahead breakfast.

I’m all about an easy make-ahead breakfast. This is especially true when I’m trying to eat less carbs and increase my protein. I pretty much need a meal plan to stay on track, or I’ll end up eating donuts with my kids. If I have breakfasts ready like these Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Protein Squares, then I usually make a healthier choice.

This recipe makes a total of 8 servings, and each serving comes in at only 200 calories and 20 grams of protein!!! Where did all those eggs get all that extra protein? It’s in the cottage cheese, which even the cottage cheese haters can’t tell. It’s all blended up resulting in a creamy egg.

Top that egg mixture with some great toppings like bacon pieces, green onions, and cheese, and you have yourself a delicious high protein breakfast! These are basically like my Easy Ham Egg Bites, but they are easier to make when you just pour it all into a small casserole dish.

Five Benefits of a high protein breakfast:

1. Protein helps you feel fuller longer and reduces cravings.
2. Protein aids in muscle repair and growth.
3. Since the body uses more energy to digest protein compared to fats and carbs, this gives your metabolism a boost.
4. Protein helps to stabilize your blood sugar and prevents spikes and crashes.
5. Protein helps regulate dopamine and norepinephrine, which support concentration and mental performance.
