    Pretty Damn Good White Sandwich Bread - Induction safe

    2 eggs, separated into yolks and whites
    2 oz cream cheese
    2 tbsp water
    1 tsbp ground flaxseed meal
    1 tsp ThickenThin Not/Starch (optional; can also substitute psyllium powder)
    1/2 oz pork rinds (about 4-5 rinds)

    Grind the pork rinds to coarse powder in the small bowl of your food processor. Add ground flaxseeds and the Not/Starch or psyllium powder. Pulse until mixed well. Soften cream cheese in the microwave and add it along with the egg yolks and water. Mix well, scraping the bowl down as needed. This should be a fairly thick paste.

    Beat the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt. Stir in 1/3 of the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold this batter into the remaining egg whites.

    Immediately pour the batter into a small (5" to 6" round) microwave safe bowl. Cook on medium to high power until set, from 2 to 3 minutes depending on your microwave.

    This will set up into a tender, fluffy, thick slice of sandwich "bread". Slice it in half lengthwise and fill with sliced meat and condiments to make a sandwich, or use it at full thickness as a muffin. It can be toasted crisp or briefly fried in a small amount of butter for a "crust" texture, but overcooking will toughen it.

    Makes 1 serving, about 3 carbs total.

      Psyllium husks work fine to stiffen up the bread, and so does Thicken/Thin Not/Starch. Find their product at http://www.expertfoods.com. Netrition also sells their products even cheaper than the official site.



      You might also try Thicken/Thin's baking aid product in this recipe. Experimentation will produce "bread" with different textures, and you can also add flavorings and seasonings as you like - this is a very forgiving recipe since it is not a truly baked product. You can also increase the cream cheese by 1 oz for a heavier, thicker product, but I like the light and fluffy "white bread" texture to make classic sandwiches.

        Is there anything that can substitute for the pork rinds?

          Sure. Just leave them out.

          The basic recipe is a plain egg custard/meringue, given some body with cream cheese and stiffened up with flour substitutes that contain some fiber. This is almost a souffle, except that it sets up solid in the microwave. It is a very flexible recipe and can stand a lot of additions and subtractions and messing with proportions. Can't do that with real baked goods or you make a mess.

              I made these today. The kids and husband LOVED them. I put egg, bacon and cheese on them. So they were very similar to a McDonalds egg mcmuffin but honestly much better.

              GREAT RECIPE!!
