Notes
You can use your favorite protein powder in this recipe. It will make this dish dairy free and also add in a bit more protein, but I found the taste and texture to be not as good. If you do want to swap out the yogurt for protein powder, use ½ serving so the mixture doesn’t get too thick.
Some brands of wheat bread are softer in texture than others. If using a really sturdy bread like Ezekiel’s, make sure to soak it a bit longer than if using a softer bread like Dave's killer bread.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven and enjoy. It tastes just as good reheated as it does hot off the griddle.
