Who said a 7-inch springform pan is only for cheesecake? Not me. If I’m going to be extra, my breakfast might as well be, too. I picked one up for my air fryer, and now I don’t think I’ll ever make a crustless quiche in the oven ever again. It cooks faster, doesn’t heat up my kitchen during the desert summer, and somehow makes breakfast feel a little more luxe.
This has officially become my newest Dayclub SEAZN breakfast obsession. Three eggs, a little cottage cheese, a little mozzarella, and about 14 minutes in the air fryer. That’s it. It’s keto-friendly, low carb, high-protein, and ridiculously satisfying. Even better? The whole recipe comes in at approximately 32 grams of protein, making it one of my favorite high-protein breakfasts when I want something filling without spending forever in the kitchen.

Breakfast already hits differently after my morning swim, and this one has officially earned a permanent spot in my weekly rotation. Turns out springform pans aren’t just for cake… they’re for breakfast, too, if you’re living the #dayclubready lifestyle.
