Prepare the orange marmalade the night before and refrigerate it covered with foil for about 8 hours.

In the morning, preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a blender, combine 5 eggs and 1 cup of whole milk and set aside.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of cottage cheese with 1/2 cup of orange juice and 1/2 cup of orange marmalade until well combined.

Cut 4 slices of whole grain bread into cubes, leaving the crust on.

Spray a 9x9 pan liberally with cooking oil and spread the bread cubes in a single layer at the bottom of the pan.

Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the bread cubes and spread it evenly.

Pour the egg and milk mixture over the top of the bread and filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Cover the pan with foil and place it in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Take the prepared dish out of the refrigerator and place it in the preheated oven.

Bake for about 25 minutes, removing the foil for the last 5-10 minutes to allow the top to brown.

Once baked, cut the dish into 4 pieces and serve.
