French Toast ?

[diwitch]

So I saw this recipe on the Low Carb Luxury site and was wondering if anyone had tried it?

You Won't Believe it's Not French Toast

Ingredients:

• 1/2 of a 3-oz. bag of unflavored pork rinds
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 packets Splenda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon egg nog extract or vanilla extract
  

Crumble pork rinds up until they resemble bread crumbs (use your food processor if you like — or put them in a Ziploc bag, air removed, and roll them with a rolling pin.) Set aside.

Beat eggs well and then mix with remaining ingredients and beat again. Add crushed pork rinds to the egg/cream mixture and allow to sit for approximately 5 minutes. Mixture will thicken to a "gloppy" phase during this time.

Meanwhile, heat skillet or griddle with butter or oil, and when hot, fry pancake style until golden brown on both sides. Serve with low-carb maple syrup!

That is the recipe I believe. You would have a difficult time telling the difference between this and real pancakes.

Is this okay during the induction phase?

It's legal if you divide it into 2 or more servings.

You are allowed up to 2 tbsp of heavy cream per day. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of heavy cream. 1/4 cup=4 tablespoons. I don't think there's neccessarily a limit on pork rids, but they do contain a lot of sodium which can cause water retention.
