👨‍🍳Method

1

Prepare the Protein Buns

5 min

In a small bowl, whisk together your protein powder, 1 egg, and a splash of almond milk until smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with zero-calorie oil. Cook the batter into two small, thin pancakes about the size of a standard burger bun. Set them aside.

💡Keep the pancakes small and thick so they can hold the tower of fillings.
2

The Perfect Egg

3 min

In the same skillet, crack your second whole egg. Cook it sunny-side up or over-easy so the white is fully set but the yolk remains perfectly runny.

The Cafe Assembly

2 min

Build the stack in this exact order: bottom protein pancake, thick layer of 0% Greek yogurt, beautifully draped prosciutto slices hanging over the edges, the sunny-side-up egg with its golden yolk, a pile of fresh arugula, and finally the top protein pancake pressed gently down.
