No Carb Protein Bread!

[amberj 21]

Okay so when i was browsing around on pinterest i came across this recipe for a bread substitute. I made it last night and i must say I thought it was delicious. Whats even better is I am doing lilmissdiva's boot camp this week and I can eat this because it is only made with eggs cream of tartar and cream cheese ( or cottage cheese). It is delicious and very very easy to make! I was craving something sweet last night so I took a half of one and put some sugar free Syrup on it. It literally tasted like a pancake! If you are missing bread and dont want to eat all of the carbs, this is a perfect substitute. best part of it is that it is extra protein!

I used fat free cream cheese

***** make sure that the peaks on the meringue are extra firm

The recipe says it makes 10, but it made 6 when I did it. This is the breakdown for each one

Generic - Egg, 3 large egg 210 3 15 18 Adams - Cream of Tartar, 1/4 tsp 0 0 0 0 Philadelphia - Fat Free Cream cheese, 1.5 ounce (28 g) 45 3 0 6 Add Ingredient

Total: 255 6 15 24 Per Serving: 43 1 3 4

About This Recipe

"These are a delicious home-made bread replacement that are practically carb free and very high in Protein. They are just like heaven so I call them clouds. Compliments of Kristin Patterson."

Ingredients

• 
  
  • 3 eggs, separated
    
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or 3 tablespoons cream cheese
    
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
    
  • 1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener
    

Directions

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  
• Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.
  
• In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.
  
• In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks.
  
• Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
  
• Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.
  
• With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
  
• Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).
  
• Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.
  
• While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.
  
• Since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! The choice is up to you, and you will be quite amazed at how much like a bun these really are!

eggs and cottage/cream cheese! I can totally do this when I go to the next phase! Well, maybe not next week but in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for sharing!!

OMG- you win

[amberj 21]

i figured people here would appreciate this recipe. I was amazed at how good and how versatile these things are. I used one to make a sandwich today. I just put some baked chicken breast on it and it was amazing! I will experiment with it later on. I am sure that a little vanilla extract and some fat free cool whip with maybe a few pieces of fresh fruit would make it a tasty guilt free dessert! I know that I have just found my go to. maybe i can finally be done with my obsession with bread! My next thing I am going to try is quinoa in place of rice and Pasta. From what I understand is it cooks like rice but is really a seed so it is loaded with Protein as well. Thank God for pinterest!

Wow thanks for sharing. I just printed it and will make some today. I have to really watch my carbs, so this is great.

[emily_0192010 168]

Oh wow! I cannot wait to try this!!!! I have never been a big bread person, but there are some things that just "work" better on a bun... like tuna or a cheeseburger. I am saving this for sure! I just hope sleevie likes these. Does the texture "sit" like regular bread? If I does i'm in trouble, but it is so worth the try!

THANK YOU!!!! OMG can't wait to try this O-U-T!!!

DITTO... thank you so very much and I cannot wait. It's 10 pm and I wanna make these NOW!

[raven8888 86]

I am also curios to how this sits. Does it digest better than bread would?

[amberj 21]

this is nowhere near as dense as actual bread. they are light and fluffy. I am 7 months out and have had no problem what so ever eating them. I am sure that everyone is different though, but for me these sit perfectly fine.

[Supersweetums 1,164]

I just made these the other day and then let them sit overnight in a container like the recipe online suggests. I made a pizza bun out of them, ham, onion, pizza sauce and mozza cheese. Not too bad at all. I haven't tried them yet like a bun, but I will! I got 9 out of the recipe.

[Rainydayz 27]

I tried these this morning. They are wonderful! Not exactly like bread but I think I can get used to them as a substitute. So light and fluffy. Thanks!

Amber,

Since u were so sweet to share the no-bread bread recipe i wanted to share with you my Quinoa recipe! I replaced rice w/quinoa a couple of years ago before considering wls. I sautee red onion in olive oil. I cook the quinoa in a rice cooker - same proportions as rice. When its done, I pour it in a bowl, add the onions, some fat free feta cheese, capers, lemon juice and salt & pepper. Delish! Excellent source of protein! Quinoa comes from Peru. There are different colors too: red, black and white. I dont know the difference cuz Ive only bought the white. A 5lb bag is $10 at costco. Regular grocery stores charge alot for a small amount. Hope this helps!
