Do you remember the Adkins diet? It’s similar to the Ketogenic diet. Both are extremely low in carbohydrates and high in fat. Anyway, I don’t advocate for either, but both have inspired many creative, and delicious low carb recipes.
Back in the 80s, my mother tried the Adkins diet. She had a paperback book that spelled out all of the rules, foods allowed, and some recipes. When I first saw a, “Cloud Bread” recipe on Pinterest, it took me back to a recipe she frequently made out of that book.
It’s pretty much whipped egg whites with their yolks folded back in, baked, and labeled as bread. They don’t actually taste like bread! But, as their own individual item, they’re great. They have light melt in your mouth texture that can be flavored however you want. I wanted mine to be low in calories as well as carbs so I used fat free cream cheese and only added 1 yolk back in. For only 163 calories you can eat the entire batch! Enjoy!
