💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and place the baking dish on the middle rack to ensure even heat distribution, as protein powder can scorch at temperatures above 180°C if placed too close to heating elements.equipment200°C middle rack
- ✓Whisk protein powder with a small amount of room temperature milk first to create a slurry, preventing clumping that occurs when protein denatures too quickly in the egg mixture.techniqueRoom temperature
- ✓Use day-old bread or toast fresh bread lightly before adding to the mixture, as stale bread absorbs 30% more liquid without becoming mushy during the 20-30 minute bake time.ingredient30% more absorption
- ✓Slice apples to 3-4mm thickness and arrange in a single layer to ensure they soften evenly while maintaining some texture, as thicker pieces won't cook through in the 20-30 minute timeframe.technique3-4mm thickness
- ✓Check for doneness at 20 minutes by inserting a knife into the center - it should come out with minimal wet custard clinging, as the residual heat will continue cooking the protein structure for 2-3 minutes after removal.timing20 minutes initial check
