Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?

Absolutely! You'll get about the same protein with less fat - use 4 egg whites to replace the 2 whole eggs. But here's my little secret: keep at least one yolk in there for richness. That golden goodness makes all the difference in flavor!

Is gluten-free bread okay for this recipe?

You bet! I've made this with every gluten-free bread under the sun when my best friend visits (she has celiac disease). Look for a sturdy, seedy GF bread - the denser kinds hold up best to toppings without crumbling. Just toast it a bit longer since GF bread tends to be moister.

Can I meal prep protein toast?

I'll be honest - it's not ideal. But if you MUST, here's how: prep the components separately! Keep toasted bread in an airtight container, cottage cheese in a small jar, and cook the eggs fresh (they only take 3 minutes). The chia seeds can stay measured out in a tiny bowl. Morning-of, just assemble and you're golden - literally!
